    The actual product may slightly differ from the image shown, as it is indicative. The plant's shape, design, number of leaves, and size depend on seasonal availability.

    Please note that the received product may not precisely match the displayed image due to natural variations in plant growth and availability. Flower/ Petals and some leaves may drop during transport, but new leaves will sprout again within few days. 

    Plant Care: Upon receiving your live plants, it's essential to offer them water promptly to rejuvenate them after their journey. Position the plant in an area with indirect sunlight, allowing it to gradually regain its vitality.

    Repotting Instructions: Once the plant has fully recovered, you may consider repotting it in nutrient-rich soil, either in its current decorative pot or a new one. Ensure the chosen pot has proper drainage holes to prevent overwatering, especially if the decorative pot lacks them. However, this plant comes pre-repotted in a well-draining pot with nutrient-rich soil mixed with slow-release organic compost for optimal growth and long-lasting nourishment.

        Plant Care

        Light & Temperature

        ☀️ Light & Temperature Tips for Insulin Plant (Costus igneus):

        Place the Insulin Plant in bright indirect sunlight or partial shade—it thrives well outdoors in filtered light or morning sun. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, especially in very hot climates. The plant prefers warm temperatures between 20°C to 35°C and should be protected from frost and cold drafts in winter. For colder regions, move the plant indoors or cover it during chilly nights.

        Watering

        💧 Watering Tip for Insulin Plant (Costus igneus):

        Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry—it prefers consistently moist soil but not soggy conditions. In summer, water 2–3 times a week; reduce frequency in winter. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid overhead watering to keep leaves and stems healthy and fungus-free.

        Fertilizing

        🌱 Fertiliser Tips for Insulin Plant (Costus igneus):

        Use organic compost, vermicompost, or well-rotted cow dung manure once every 3–4 weeks during the active growing season (spring to early autumn). You can also apply a mild liquid organic fertiliser like seaweed extract or compost tea to boost leaf health. Avoid chemical fertilisers, as the plant is used for medicinal purposes. Always fertilise after watering to prevent root burn.

        General Tips

        🌿 General Care Tips for Insulin Plant (Costus igneus):

        Plant it in well-draining soil and keep it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. Water moderately—keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and remove dead leaves. Apply organic compost or manure once a month during the growing season. Protect the plant from frost and extreme cold, especially in winter months.
