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.

The Periwinkle plant, scientifically known as Catharanthus meaning 'pure flower', is a perennial flowering plant native to India and Sri Lanka. It features almost oppositely arranged leaves and produces beautiful solitary flowers in the leaf axils. Commonly known as 'Sadabahar' in India, this plant has been cultivated for centuries as an ornamental plant in gardens. It's particularly valued for its vibrant blooms that come in various colors including white, purple, and pink, adding a pop of color to any outdoor space. The plant is also known for its fast growth habit, quickly establishing itself and providing continuous blooms throughout the growing season. In Indian culture, the Periwinkle holds special significance and is often used in pooja rituals, hence its alternative name 'Sadabahar' which means 'always in bloom'.
Periwinkle plants thrive in bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering. As an outdoor plant, it should be placed in an area that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. It's an excellent choice for terrace gardens, balconies, and open spaces that get plenty of light. The plant can also be used to create colorful borders along pathways or planted in garden beds to add vibrant color to your landscape. In extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade might be beneficial to prevent the leaves from scorching, but generally, the more sun the plant gets, the better it will bloom. When you buy Periwinkle plants from gardengro, they come in nursery bags that make it easy to transplant them directly into larger pots or garden beds as needed.
Periwinkle plants prefer consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season. Water the plants thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. The plant does not tolerate water-logging, so ensure proper drainage in the pot or garden bed. In the hot Indian summer, you may need to water more frequently, perhaps every 2-3 days, depending on the weather conditions. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established but will perform best with regular watering. Humidity is generally not a concern for Periwinkle plants as they are well-adapted to the tropical and subtropical climate of India. However, in very dry conditions, occasional misting can help keep the foliage looking fresh. When you receive your Periwinkle plants from gardengro, they come fresh-packed to ensure they arrive in healthy condition, ready to thrive in their new home.
