Corporate Plant Gifting in Kolkata

Kali Puja is one of the major Shakta festivals observed across Bengal in the same season as Durga Puja, and corporate gift orders in Kolkata rise noticeably in the days around it, separate from whatever a company's head office elsewhere is planning for Diwali.

Onboarding kits and client gifts placed through the rest of the year do not follow a festival date, but the plant choice for them still follows this city's climate rather than a generic catalogue.

A gift plant that survives the courier trip

A potted gift sent out during the wettest months of the year has to tolerate humid transit and possibly rain at the doorstep, so we favour sturdier, slower-wilting species for deliveries in that stretch over anything delicate.

Deliveries made through the cooler, drier months have an easier run, which gives us more room to recommend flowering or more delicate varieties as the gift itself.

What comes with the gift

Each gift plant arrives in its pot with a short care card covering watering and light, since most recipients are not gardeners and the plant needs to survive the first few weeks on its own.

Branding on the pot or packaging is arranged to the client's specification rather than a fixed house design, so the same gift can carry a different look for a client event than for an onboarding kit.

Ordering ahead of a known spike in demand

Plant stock and pot supply across Kolkata tighten in the days before Kali Puja and Durga Puja, the same way flower stock does, so a corporate order placed close to either date has fewer variety options than one placed a couple of weeks ahead.

For a recurring gifting programme, like a fixed onboarding kit sent out through the year, we hold the same variety in reserve so a new joiner in March gets the same plant a new joiner in October did.
