Vallarai Keerai Plant (Gotu Kola) – Memory-Boosting Herb in 10 Inch Black Pot

Vallarai Keerai, scientifically known as Centella asiatica and commonly called Gotu Kola, is one of the most important medicinal herbs in South Indian culture. Highly regarded in Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine as a "brain tonic," this creeping herb is famous for its ability to enhance memory, concentration, and cognitive function. Growing your own Vallarai ensures you have a fresh, pesticide-free supply of this nutritious green for your daily diet.

The plant features distinctive kidney-shaped leaves and a low-growing, spreading habit. It thrives in the humid, tropical climate of Chennai and is particularly well-suited for container gardening. Unlike many other herbs, Vallarai is incredibly easy to harvest—simply snip the leaves and stems as needed for your chutneys, juices, or salads, and the plant will continue to spread and regrow.

This product is delivered as a healthy, lush live plant well-established in a durable 10-inch black nursery pot. The wider pot surface is ideal for this creeping herb, allowing it to spread its runners across the soil and provide a consistent harvest.

Plant Care Guide

• Sunlight: Vallarai thrives in partial shade. It loves bright light but can wilt under the direct, scorching Chennai afternoon sun. A spot that gets 2-3 hours of morning sun or stays in bright shade is ideal.

• Watering: This plant loves water! Keep the soil consistently moist. If the soil dries out completely, the leaves will droop quickly. During summer, daily watering is essential.

• Soil: Prefers a moist, loamy soil rich in organic matter. A mix of garden soil, coco peat, and vermicompost works perfectly.

• Fertilization: Since you will be consuming the leaves, use only organic fertilizers like vermicompost or seaweed extract once every 20 days.

• Harvesting: Harvest the outer leaves frequently. This encourages the plant to produce new runners and keep the foliage dense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vallarai the same as Brahmi?

In North India, Bacopa monnieri is often called Brahmi, while in South India, Centella asiatica (Vallarai) is sometimes referred to by the same name due to similar memory-boosting benefits. This specific plant is the kidney-leafed Vallarai.

Can I grow this in a balcony with no direct sun?

Yes, Vallarai is one of the few medicinal herbs that grows very well in shaded areas, as long as the area is bright and well-ventilated.

How fast does it grow?

It is a fast grower. Once established in the 10-inch pot, it will quickly send out runners (stems that root at intervals) to cover the entire soil surface.

Will I receive the plant in the 10-inch pot?

Yes, this listing is for a healthy live Vallarai Keerai plant securely established in a 10-inch black nursery pot.
