Your Plant Isn't Dying. It's in Shock.
Most plants that die after delivery don't die from the journey — they die in the week after, from one small thing done out of love. Here's how to tell the difference, and exactly what to do in the first 48 hours.

Your Plant Arrived. You Were Excited. Then It Started to Droop.
A few leaves turned yellow and fell. It looked like it was dying in front of you. So you did what any plant lover would — repotted it, watered it, moved it into the sun to help. And a few days later, it was worse.
- ✕It looked like it was dying on arrival. Drooping, yellowing, dropping leaves after days in a dark box — and you had no idea if it was dying or just adjusting.
- ✕You helped, and it got worse. Repotted it into a nicer pot. Watered it because it drooped. Moved it into the sun. Every loving instinct, at exactly the wrong time.
- ✕The advice online contradicts itself. Ten YouTube videos, ten different answers — none of which know whether your soil is wet or dry right now.
- ✕You blamed yourself. "I'm just bad with plants." You're not — you were never told the one difference that decides whether a delivered plant lives.

Why This Guide Is Different

Written by an actual nursery that ships thousands of plants across India and sees exactly which ones live, which ones die, and why.
