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 Periwinkle Plant
The Periwinkle, scientifically known as Catharanthus, is a perennial flowering plant native to India and Sri Lanka. Commonly called Sadabahar in many parts of India, this plant features glossy green leaves and vibrant flowers in colors like white, purple, pink, and red. The flowers appear singly in the leaf axils, creating a beautiful display that lasts throughout the growing season. As a fast-growing ornamental plant, it quickly establishes itself in gardens and containers, making it a popular choice for Indian homes seeking colorful, low-maintenance greenery.
Light & Placement
Periwinkle plants thrive in bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sun daily for optimal flowering. They are outdoor plants that perform best in locations with full sun exposure. In extremely hot climates, they may benefit from some afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. These plants are perfect for south-facing gardens, west-facing balconies, or any bright outdoor space where they can receive ample sunlight. They're also excellent choices for terrace gardens and as border plants in sunny garden beds.
Watering & Humidity
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Periwinkle plants appreciate regular watering but can tolerate short dry periods once established. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. In India's humid climate, ensure proper air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal issues. During the monsoon season, reduce watering frequency as natural rainfall may provide sufficient moisture.
