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, 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 is celebrated for its vibrant, solitary flowers that bloom in various colours including white, purple, and pink. With its almost oppositely arranged leaves and continuous flowering habit, the Periwinkle adds a pop of colour to gardens, terraces, and balconies. It's a fast-growing plant that's perfect for Indian homes, especially during the summer months when it thrives and attracts butterflies and other pollinators, enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space.
Periwinkle plants love bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily to flourish. They are outdoor plants and should be placed in areas that receive ample sunlight, such as gardens, balconies, or terraces. If you're growing them indoors, ensure they get enough light by placing them near a south or west-facing window. In extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade can help prevent the leaves from scorching, but generally, the more sun they get, the better they bloom.
The Periwinkle plant prefers consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season. Water your plants thoroughly, but ensure the soil has good drainage to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. In the summer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler months, reduce the watering schedule. The plant thrives in tropical and subtropical climates like India, where humidity levels are naturally higher. If you're growing in a very dry area, misting the leaves occasionally can help maintain the required humidity.
