Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

Coleus is a tropical plant native to southern India, prized for its spectacular foliage rather than its flowers. Belonging to the Lamiaceae family (which includes mints), coleus features leaves in various colors including brown, red, green, and purple. The plant grows quickly and can reach up to 2-3 feet in height under ideal conditions. Its vibrant leaf patterns make it a standout choice for gardens, containers, and indoor spaces. In India, coleus is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in our tropical climate and provide continuous color throughout the growing season.
Coleus plants love bright light but appreciate some protection from harsh afternoon sun, especially during peak summer months. In most parts of India, morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. The plant can tolerate partial shade, but too little light may cause the colors to fade. You can place coleus in garden beds, borders, containers on your balcony, or even as indoor houseplants near bright windows. When grown outdoors, coleus makes excellent edging plants or can be used to create colorful hedges. The plant does well in temperatures between 15-30°C, making it perfectly suited for Indian conditions.
Coleus plants enjoy consistent moisture and don't like to dry out completely. Water your coleus when the top inch of soil feels dry, which may be every 1-2 days depending on your climate and soil conditions. The plant will let you know when it needs water - you'll notice the leaves starting to droop. In hot, dry weather, you may need to water more frequently. Coleus appreciates moderate humidity but can tolerate typical indoor conditions. If you notice the edges of the leaves browning, try increasing humidity levels or check your watering schedule. Good drainage is important to prevent root rot.
