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.

Holy Shyama Tulsi is a sacred aromatic herb that has been revered in India for centuries. Also known as Ocimum tenuiflorum, this perennial plant belongs to the mint family and is characterized by its purple-tinged leaves and strong, pleasant aroma. In Ayurvedic medicine, Tulsi is considered a 'rasayana' or rejuvenative herb that promotes longevity and wellness. The plant is often referred to as the 'Queen of Herbs' due to its numerous health benefits and cultural significance. At gardengro, we source healthy Tulsi plants that are ready to thrive in your home garden.
Holy Shyama Tulsi prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Ideally, place your plant in a spot where it receives 4-5 hours of morning sunlight. Avoid keeping it in harsh afternoon sun as it can scorch the leaves. The plant does well in semi-shaded areas. According to traditional practices, placing the Tulsi plant in north or northeast-facing directions is considered auspicious as it allows the plant to receive beneficial morning sunlight. Ensure good air circulation around the plant for optimal growth.
Holy Shyama Tulsi prefers moderate watering. Water the plant when the topsoil feels completely dry to the touch. It's best to water during early morning or late evening hours to minimize evaporation. The plant doesn't like waterlogged conditions, so ensure your pot has proper drainage. While Tulsi can tolerate average humidity levels, it appreciates some moisture in the air. In very dry conditions, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant on a pebble tray with water. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot and other issues.
Holy Shyama Tulsi is considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. In fact, the plant's essential oils are sometimes used in natural pet products for their beneficial properties. However, as with any plant, excessive consumption by pets might cause mild digestive upset. The plant's mosquito-repellent properties make it a great addition to homes with pets, offering natural pest control without harmful chemicals. Many pet owners choose to grow Tulsi specifically for its dual benefits of being safe for pets while keeping insects at bay.
