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 aromatic herb deeply rooted in Indian culture and Ayurvedic medicine. This perennial plant features green, slightly serrated leaves with a distinctive, earthy fragrance that refreshes the air. Known as 'Queen of Herbs,' Tulsi has been used for centuries in traditional remedies to treat various ailments. Beyond its medicinal properties, Tulsi holds immense religious significance in Hinduism, where it's worshipped as a goddess and considered a symbol of purity and protection. At gardengro, we offer healthy, well-rooted Tulsi plants that bring both spiritual and practical benefits to your home.
Tulsi thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your plant where it receives 4-5 hours of morning sunlight, but protect it from harsh afternoon sun which can scorch its leaves. A spot on an east or northeast-facing balcony or windowsill is ideal. If growing indoors, ensure it gets ample light near a window. Tulsi can tolerate some shade but may grow leggy in low light. Avoid placing it in dark corners or completely shaded areas. The plant's growth and leaf production improve with consistent, moderate light exposure.
Water your Tulsi plant when the topsoil feels completely dry to the touch. Typically, this means watering every 2-3 days, but adjust based on your climate and season. Water during early morning or late evening hours to prevent heat stress. Tulsi prefers well-draining soil and doesn't like sitting in water, so ensure proper drainage. While it can tolerate normal household humidity, occasional misting during dry summers can help maintain leaf freshness. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other fungal issues.
Tulsi is generally considered safe for pets when consumed in small amounts. The plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a good choice for pet-friendly homes. However, excessive ingestion might cause mild digestive upset in some animals. As a precaution, monitor your pets around the plant and discourage them from chewing large quantities. The aromatic leaves of Tulsi actually act as a natural insect repellent, helping keep mosquitoes and other pests away from your home and garden.
In Vastu Shastra, Tulsi is highly regarded for its positive energy. It's traditionally placed in the northeast corner of homes or gardens to attract prosperity and good fortune. The plant is believed to purify the environment and create a protective shield against negative energies. Many households maintain a Tulsi plant as it's thought to bring harmony, health, and spiritual blessings. Keeping Tulsi in your home is considered auspicious and is said to enhance the overall wellbeing of the family members residing there.
