Let customers speak for us
from 71 reviewsPlant arrived healthy and in excellent packaging. Best packaging I've seen from any online nursery. Thanks nursery Nursery Nisarga
The plant was very fresh and neatly packed. The delivery was quicker than I expected and very pleased with it. Doesn’t have any flowers yet but I’m very sure it’ll bloom some wonderful flowers as time progresses.
Good packing
I recently purchased Kalpvriksha plant from Lalit Enterprise, it delivered in very good condition
Nice packaging. thanks
My alocasia has been an absolute delight... While the first few leaves started to turn yellow initially, I kept caring for the plant as recommended, and to my joy, it began to thrive beautifully. Now it graces my home with lush, vibrant foliage and adds a tropical charm that’s simply unmatched. It's a resilient and rewarding plant that truly transforms with the right care. Highly recommended...
Its beautifully variegated foliage, with shades of green and creamy yellow, adds a touch of sophistication to any space. The plant I received was well-packaged, healthy, and ready to thrive. It has quickly become the centerpiece of my indoor garden. Caring for it is simple, making it a great choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. If you're seeking a plant that's equal parts stylish and low-maintenance, this one's a winner....
The plant arrived in perfect condition, and its furry, rabbit like rhizomes are such a delight….. truly unique and charming. It's a breeze to care for, needing just the right amount of indirect light and moisture to thrive. The lush, vibrant green leaves have added a touch of natural elegance to my space, and it's quickly become a favorite in my plant collection. Lalit Enterprises provided top-notch service with fast delivery and excellent packaging. Highly recommend both the Rabbit Foot Fern and Lalit Enterprises to anyone looking to add a stunning plant to their home....

I received the rose creeper plants in excellent condition. The packaging was outstanding and professionally done, ensuring the plants arrived safely. The seller's attention to detail and care is commendable. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for good-quality plants and reliable service.
Received healthy plant with good variagation. Packaging and medium was very nice.
Such good quality and fresh plant received. Looked great. Planted it and now waiting for it to grow so that we can trim it into a dome shape
As I had never ordered anything from Lalit Enterprises, I didn't know what to expect, but honestly I was pleasantly surprised, relieved, and then delighted when I finally unwrapped the cobra fern. The packaging is thorough and the plant, and its soil, was intact and in excellent condition. I feel I can trust Lalit Enterprises with my products and their delivery as well.
