Insulin Plant (Costus igneus)

This perennial, upright plant, also known as Spiral Flag or Costus igneus, is valued for both its ornamental beauty and its traditional use. It features large, smooth, dark green leaves that are arranged in a striking spiral pattern around the stems. This plant is a popular and easy-to-maintain addition to gardens, pots, and kitchen herbal corners across India.

• - Attractive foliage with long, lance-shaped green leaves that are spirally arranged.
• - Produces beautiful, bright orange-yellow cone-like blooms.
• - Easy to grow and propagate, making it suitable for beginners.
• - Grows well in containers, perfect for balconies or indoor spaces with bright, filtered light.
• - Leaves are used traditionally in India as a dietary supplement.

Plant Care Tips

• - Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. It thrives well in filtered light and should be protected from harsh afternoon sun to prevent burning the leaves.
• - Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil but ensure it is never soggy or waterlogged, which can lead to root rot. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch.
• - Soil: Requires well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A potting mix blended with compost or organic additives is recommended.
• - Fertilizing: Use an organic compost or a mild organic liquid fertiliser once every one to two months during the active growing season (spring to early autumn) to promote lush growth.
• - General Care: Protect the plant from frost and extreme cold drafts, especially during winter months. Regular pruning to remove dead leaves and encourage new growth will help keep the plant looking bushy and healthy.

Important Note Regarding Consumption

The leaves of this plant are traditionally used as a dietary supplement. It is important to consult a physician or healthcare professional before consuming the leaves or incorporating them into your diet, as it is not a replacement for any prescribed medication.
