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.

Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is a sacred perennial plant known for its aromatic leaves and deep cultural roots in India. Revered as the 'Queen of Herbs,' it holds a special place in Hindu tradition, where it is used in worship and rituals. Beyond its spiritual significance, Tulsi is a powerhouse of health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it boosts immunity, reduces stress, and supports respiratory health. The plant's natural adaptogenic properties help the body cope with daily stressors, making it a valuable addition to any wellness routine. At gardengro, we offer fresh, healthy Tulsi plants to bring this ancient wisdom into your modern home.
Tulsi thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it in a spot where it receives 4-5 hours of morning sun, such as a north or northeast-facing balcony or window. Avoid harsh afternoon direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. While Tulsi loves light, it can tolerate partial shade, making it versatile for different home settings. If growing indoors, ensure the plant gets adequate light by placing it near a bright window. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light source.
Tulsi prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the topsoil feels completely dry. Water thoroughly in the early morning or late evening to allow the plant to absorb moisture before the heat of the day. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has drainage holes. The plant is adaptable to average humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting in dry climates. During the monsoon, reduce watering frequency as the soil retains moisture longer. Always check the soil moisture before watering to avoid overwatering.
Tulsi is considered safe for pets and is even used in traditional remedies for animals. However, like many plants, excessive consumption may cause mild digestive upset in pets. If you have curious cats or dogs, monitor their interaction with the plant. Tulsi's natural insect-repellent properties make it a great choice for homes looking to avoid chemical pest control while keeping pets safe. As always, introduce any new plant to your pets gradually and observe their behavior.
In Vastu Shastra, Tulsi is highly regarded for its positive energy and purifying properties. It is often placed in the northeast or east direction of the home to attract prosperity and good health. The plant is believed to ward off negative energies and bring peace and harmony to the household. Many families grow Tulsi in their homes as it is considered a symbol of devotion and protection. Keeping a Tulsi plant is also thought to improve the flow of positive energy, making it a favored choice for spiritual and practical reasons alike.
