Creeping, succulent herb native to India. Traditional use: Ayurveda, used to sharpen the mind and stimulate the memory. Does well in pots. The plant prefers moist, fertile soil and does not require good drainage. Partial shade and humid air are helpful, but the plant will also survive in full sun at the edge of a pond or stream. It is also possible to grow brahmi indoors in an aquarium. They thrive in the greenhouse. The plant is dark green, with a thick stem and small leaves, flowering light lavender.

This little guy got stuck at a shipping center and was boxed up for a week and a half before arriving in the heat of summer. Its little leaves were bleached white, and while I empathized with the poor dear, I knew that Richo stock is mighty. What happened next I couldn’t quite believe. Not only did the foliage multiply at an astounding rate, the bleached leaves regained color within a few days! From ghostly white to vibrant green! I’ve never seen anything like it. And those little white flowers are so magical. Thank you!

I bought a plant in spring of 2022. It arrived and took off in a pot without drainage. I overwintered it indoors as we have freezing temperatures at a mile high here in Arizona. This summer a beautiful vine emerged with heart shaped leaves. I have no idea what it could be but it’s quite nice. I will overwinter it again indoors and hope the vine does well also.

It was fantastic! Beautiful robust growth! Bought it IN for WINTER and it did VERY well just in the kitchen. Then we had a FLOOD and it got neglected. Since we used it FRESH during summer we DIDN’T dry any. So NOW we need and are ordering NEW plant’s, lol. But it WAS WONDERFUL (while we took CARE of it)! So we figured we’d TRY AGAIN. Thanks

My three Brahmi plants purchased 3 years ago have spread out over 5 solid square feet of pots. Some have ventured into the lawn and are doing beautifully outdoors through two zone 9b winters. The ones in pots have no drainage, they are very happy in rich, swampy compost. The leaves are refreshingly bitter with a wonderful green taste. I’m so happy with these high quality plants!

Pleased, as always, with the healthy plants Richo sends, I put this one in a large planter in my greenhouse and watched it explode over the summer. It rapidly outgrew the planter and started cascading down the wall eventually producing delicate flowers. It required several “hair cuts” over the summer which were dried for medicinal use. I have found the “winter greenhouse” too cool for it (ave 40F at night), so bring it in the house and place it in a south-facing window where it happily overwinters even in our extremly low humidity. Much more tolerant and forgiving than Gotu Kola growing next to it.
