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.

Coleus is a tropical plant native to southern India, known for its vibrant and diverse foliage. Belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae), it features leaves in various colors including red, green, purple, and yellow. This ornamental plant is popular in Indian gardens for its ability to add instant color and visual appeal. Coleus is relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The plant blooms at the end of long stalks, though it's primarily grown for its spectacular foliage rather than its flowers.
Coleus thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. In Indian summers, it's best to protect the plant from harsh afternoon sun by placing it under the shade of a larger plant or in a spot with filtered sunlight. The ideal temperature range for coleus is between 15-30 degrees Celsius, making it well-suited for tropical and subtropical climates. You can grow coleus both outdoors in garden beds and borders, or indoors near bright windows. When placing outdoors, ensure the spot receives morning sun and afternoon shade for optimal growth.
Coleus plants love moisture and prefer consistently moist soil. Water your coleus when the top inch of soil feels dry, as the plant will show signs of wilting when it needs water. In hot Indian summers, you may need to water more frequently, especially if the plant is in direct sunlight. High humidity is beneficial for coleus, so misting the leaves during dry periods can help maintain healthy growth. However, ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
