    The Katuk (Sauropus Androgynus), also known as sweet leaf or star gooseberry, is a versatile and hardy plant cherished for its nutrient-rich leaves and ease of care. Popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, this plant’s tender, spinach-like leaves have a mild, slightly sweet taste, making them a delicious addition to salads, stir-fries, and soups. Known for its fast growth and adaptability, Katuk can be grown indoors or outdoors, and it thrives in warm, humid environments. With lush, deep green foliage and an attractive upright form, Katuk adds both aesthetic appeal and practical value to any home or garden. Its compact growth and minimal maintenance needs make it a perfect option for both novice and experienced gardeners. This unique plant brings a tropical flair indoors, or it can be cultivated outdoors in warmer climates, adding dense greenery and a distinct look to gardens and patios.

    • Place your Katuk plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight, though it can also tolerate partial shade. In areas with intense sun, partial shade will prevent leaf scorching and maintain its vibrant color.
    • Water your Katuk consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. The plant prefers regular watering, especially in warm or dry conditions, though it can tolerate occasional dryness.
    • Katuk thrives in warm, tropical conditions, ideally between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It does not tolerate frost, so if you live in a cooler climate, bring the plant indoors during colder months.
    • Use a well-draining soil mix that retains moisture without becoming soggy. A mix of potting soil with added perlite or sand is ideal, allowing for good root health and steady growth.
    • Katuk has dense, lush foliage with small, oval-shaped leaves that grow in a symmetrical, alternating pattern along the stems. The leaves are a rich, dark green, giving the plant a fresh, vibrant appearance. This plant reaches heights of 3 to 6 feet but can be maintained at a smaller size indoors with occasional pruning, making it suitable for tabletops or as a mid-sized floor plant.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
