Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
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.
Survived me. That's a big deal.
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.
Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
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.

About the Motia Plant
Motia, scientifically known as Jasminum, is a genus of shrubs and vines in the Oleaceae family. In India, it's affectionately called Mogra and is celebrated for its evergreen nature and ability to produce fragrant flowers year-round. The plant features dark green, glossy foliage and produces clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers that release a powerful, sweet fragrance. This fragrance is most potent in the evenings, making it a favourite for evening gardens and outdoor relaxation spaces. The Motia plant is not just an ornamental beauty; it holds deep cultural and religious significance in India, with its flowers being a staple in pooja rituals, weddings, and traditional garlands.
Light & Placement
The Motia plant is a sun-loving species and requires ample bright light to thrive and produce abundant blooms. For best results, place your plant in an outdoor area that receives direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours a day. A south-facing balcony, an open terrace, or a garden bed that gets full sun are excellent locations. While it can tolerate some light shade, insufficient sunlight will result in fewer flowers and a leggy growth habit. As an outdoor plant, it should not be kept indoors permanently. However, you can bring a blooming branch inside temporarily to enjoy its fragrance in a room, but it should be returned to its sunny spot afterward.
Watering & Humidity
Proper watering is crucial for the health of your Motia plant. The soil should be kept consistently moist, especially during the active growing season in spring and summer. Water thoroughly whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring that water reaches the roots. However, it's vital to avoid water-logging, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure your pot has good drainage. The plant thrives in the natural humidity levels found in most Indian tropical and subtropical regions. During the hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently. In the cooler winter months, reduce the watering frequency, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Vastu & Symbolism
In Vastu Shastra, the Motia plant is considered highly auspicious and is often recommended for homes. Its pure white flowers are associated with purity, peace, and positive energy. The plant is believed to attract positive vibrations and create a serene atmosphere in the home. Placing it in the north, east, or northeast direction of the garden or balcony is thought to bring good fortune and prosperity. Its use in religious ceremonies further cements its status as a plant that purifies the environment and dispels negative energy, making it a wonderful choice for a spiritual and harmonious home.

Care steps
- Choose Sunny Spot. Place your Motia plant outdoors where it will receive at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
- Water Regularly. Keep the soil consistently moist, watering thoroughly when the top inch feels dry, but ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent water-logging.
- Fertilize Monthly. Feed your plant with a balanced fertilizer or vermicompost every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
- Prune After Flowering. Lightly prune the plant after the main flowering period to remove dead branches and encourage bushier growth and more flowers for the next season.
- Repot When Needed. Repot your Motia plant into a slightly larger container with fresh, acidic soil mix every 1-2 years, or when you see roots emerging from the drainage holes.
