The Fragrant Parijat Flower Plant , Parijaat care and Childhood memories with my favourite Marathi Poem

Parijat or more commonly also known  night queen is a fragrant flowering plant. This plant is very famous for its heavenly fragrance that is prominent only during nights. When you have a plant growing in the vicinity its fragrance is spread far and you can recognize that there is a parijat plant growing nearby. As the evening sun sets the fragrance can be felt in the whole vicinity.
Parijat Flowers
 The Parijat flowers are very beautiful and colourful. The off white flowers with orange bright stems look different from other white flowers and of course with their heavenly fragrance these flowers can be recognized easily due to their different unique colored flowers. When the flowers drop one can see a beautiful bed of flowers and the area surrounding the plant looks like a bed of flowers.
It seems like a floral fantasy, abed of flowers, with heavenly fragrance.
Parijat Flowering Plant



parijaat Plant
There was a belief in olden days that snakes appear and live near any fragrant plant. I do not know how far this legend is true. As for legends even the champa plant it was the same but now we see many housing societies, office buildings and malls have planted these beautiful flowering trees. No harm in welcoming people with fragrances and that too very natural ones!
People also term this Nishigandha, but I think it is the tube rose flower that is called Nishigandha,
 The raat ki rani plant is different from the parijat plant though the plant looks similar Night Blooming Jasmine Raat Ki raani Cestrum nocturnam and often termed as fragrant jasmine.
Parijat Plant Care- The parijat plant grows like wild once it takes root. I have seen huge plant full of beautiful fragrant flowers. The advantages of growing this plant is that it requires less water and grows without much care. Once  a year fertilizing is good when grown in soil on land and twice a year for plants grown in containers.
Need hard soil as the tree can grow very huge if allowed to spread in the soil.
Trying to grow this Parijaat plant in container? yes, sure you can! I did! 
 it is better to select a big pot. A layer of soil and then another of fertilizer at the base will give feeds to the plant for flowering well. The plant even in winters gives out pretty off white blooms when other plants are in hibernation  and very prominently you cannot miss out on these flowers due to their attractive orange stems of flower.
I also tried growing the Parijaat with seeds. How to grow Parijaat with seeds? let the flowers dry naturally and fall of from the tree/Parijaat plant. the remains are to be collected. you will find seeds int here. it is best when these are dried on the plant itself as when we remove and dry outside there are chances of it catching fungus and killing the seeds.
The plant needs trimming as shoots grow in any direction. It is best to grow this plant in the part where indirect sunlight falls, shaded part of your garden which receives few hours of direct sunlight. But one can smell their fragrance only during evenings and nights, and with fresh wind blowing during winters at nights the nights become fragrant and pleasant, a plant really worth for its colored blooms!
The plant does have a lot of symbolism in Hinduism as the flower of Gods. Used regularly as offerings to Gods in temples and at home the most beautifully hair decorations are also made with this auspicious flower.
Why I am so emotional and in love with this Parijaat? there are really very sweet memories of the Marathi poem Tap tap Padti angavarti..prajakta chi phule...brought a smile on your face? there are the generation where we had this in our Marathi text book and swaying and dancing we would sing the poem. there were songs, and dance, and as we all had to learn poem by heart, this is still afresh. Uploaded it on you tube, wanted to keep the memory alive! Do check this on my YouTube Channel Tap tap padti Angavarti 
more on this beautiful flowering plant, read here Blessings of Parijaat 
And then of course why not would flower come up in my art, it did, check this here a beautiful floral painting with these Awesum Jasmine flowers, do you feel the fragrance?

  3. Hello,
    Thanks for the wonderful description of this beautiful plant. I have a few seeds.
    Any advice on how to germinate this plant from seeds.
    Thanks.

    1. Hi Malini,
      Thanks for the comment.
      As for germinating new plants it would be better if you plant the seeds in small plastic containers till the new plant comes out.Keep the container away from birds and insects as you will be waiting and waiting and the seeds may have been feasted upon.Select a place that receives morning sunlight or evening and not full day as the soil will become too dry which will not encourage sprouting.
      Usually I keep my seeds in sunlight for few minutes before sowing this makes the seeds release moisture and quickens the process.
      water regularly and carefully in the early days till the new shoots come out.
      planting in soil directly I have had many bad experiences and my plants have come out from different containers , the birds and wind transfers them!
      Hope this helped.
      Have a Nice day and happy planting!

  4. I have heard that the plant seeds don't germinate very well and chances of germination are very low. is this right? if yes, what kind of special care is required? i've sown my seeds in spagnun moss. is that fine?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Hi Illidan
    Yes I am afraid I too have not much luck by many seeds.The seeds that have rooted are the ones dropped by the mother plant and they take care of themselves!
    The main care required is controlled sunlight, early morning sun, avoiding direct heat, just to keep the moisture level high.
    Avoid drying up of soil till the plant roots and new shoots are visible.

  6. Hi,
    what fertilizer is needed for flowering.We have about 2 years old plant but no flowers.Any remedy?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hi P.N. Rao,
    Try trimming the plant before rainy season usually this triggers the growth and buds develop as a result of the plant survival instinct. You can put dried cowdung as fertilizer if available , this is the best. If not available or you are not comfortable with this as many of us cannot tolerate the smell!,you can buy fertilizer from any plant nursery shop, they sell small packets for flowering which contains all the ingredients and nutrients required for your plant.
    All the best and keep me updated when your plant flowers.

  9. Hi Manasa, Thanks for the comment, my pleasure to share hope it helps many amateur gardeners and we all plant more trees to balance and heal the mother earth.
    As long as your plants receive some direct sunlight they will grow well, because all flowering plants need sunlight. but guess container plants get cared and pampered with regular feedings so it will grow.
    All the Best, do keep posted if you plant one!

  13. Yes the condition is going from bad to worse, all dried leaves dropping, I think the rest period has begun with the mogra , golden champa leaves drooping drying, but the roses are picking up fast with tiny buds, hope to see few blooms in days to come, trimming is out of question the plant itself is shedding!

  14. hi rizwana
    very informative post! i got harsingar today and the temperature is dropping fast in delhi. Do you recommend keeping the plant in direct sunlight during winter? i noticed hardened leaves and seems like they'll drop off. Does the tree shed all its leaves during winter?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi there, yes I am afraid some plants do shed all their leaves, but if the watering is kept regular some leaves remain on the plant, as the atmosphere out is dry. The leaves curl and dry gradually before dropping.
    In case the plant drops all leaves continue the watering and am sure with sunlight new fresh leaves come out, as the roots are intact. All the best!

    2. Hello Sugi thank you for coming by Garden care Simplified. I am so happy you have bought a plant and are concerned with its health.
      What I would do when I repot a new plant-
      1)There are some who do not take well to new pots so I return them back to the old pot and see whether they are growing, most come back to life. wait for few more months and then try again.
      2)Try to keep the soil intact in shape of the old pot and do not loosen up soil because exposed roots take time to catch up in new soil.
      3) soil needs to be well draining, most plants are lost due to quality of soil, cloggy water logged soil.
      4) Do not in such circumstances add strong fertilizer as this may burn the sick plant. Adding a few diluted one, granules, for nourishment may make the plant spring back in action.
      5) Usually when the parijat plant grows very big it needs transplanting, other wise plant stays in small pot also for quiet some growth. In the same pot you could have feeded it to bring out heavy growth.
      Now you see what works for your plant, as each one s different.
      Hope your plant springs back, my wishes,
      All the Best!

    3. Hi Riz

      Thank you for replying and for the tips, i do hope for the plant to come back during the spring, but the stem totally lost all leaves which actually had 6 or 7 leaves, but i am still hoping and leaving the plant as is in the pot and keep the soil just moist enough. Do you know by chance how much to water for new plants which i bought from nursery and also what about sunlight? i live in zone 9 (California) but i brought the plan inside to protect from cold but i guess that was the mistake. Pls advise if you have any clue for watering and sunlight to provide, Thanks so much.
      Sugi

      Delete
    4. Sugi , so sorry for the plant, in case the stem appears green, you have hope, continue some watering, hope it springs back!
      There are no mistakes in life , there are only lessons!
      Sometime artificial yellow light from bulbs work, just keep the pot near a light source similar imitating the daytime sunlight, it may fool the plant in thinking about the sunlight and this may work. I have tried this for my plants indoors, just take care that the plant does not get too much heat that it burns.
      Water the indoor plants carefully, check the top one inch of the soil, if dry then water.
      You will just have to personalize the plant care according to their responses, no rules here.
      All the Best!
      Do Take Care!

  18. yes, it's the same. it's dormant as of now, probably because of cold. Did you add phosphate? i have heard gardenia grows best in acidic soil. the gardenia of my garden is 3 feet and the stem looks rich and healthy. However, it's a very slow growing plant. Lets hope feb onwards i get some result

  19. Hi, gardenias are worth growing, you will remember the fragrance, out of this world!I used to add washed milk mug water,diluted milk, and ready mixes, but not during winter.
    The flowering will come in spurt with many blooms at a time, and I too was disheartened by not seeing blooms, have seen flowers after trimming it frequently in spring, only trimming will encourage blooms.All the best!

  30. Hey Rizwana,
    Thank you for such a wonderful post on Parijat. I transplanted a 2 inch parijat plant in a pot last year. It grew to 3 feet. This winter it dropped most of the leaves. When the weather got better, I kept it outside, hoping that the leaves will come back. One night the weather dropped below zero celcius. The one or two leaves remaining on the plant also dropped that time. Can you please tell me what care I should take for the plant to grow back? Should I transfer it to a bigger pot and new soil? How do I know if the plant is alive and is in hibernation? Please respond soon. Any advice much appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Anonymous very sad to hear about your plant in crises.
      even my plant shows similar signs but usually springs back. Maybe your plant may be resting due to low temperatures.
      Usually in most cases if the roots are covered with soil and warm the plant may spring back with change in climate.
      check the tips of edges of stems , if there is green inside and humidity then the plant is alive and resting and if the stems when cut or trimmed crack dry you sure know the plant has lived its life. keep the roots intact, till then pray and keep watching and if done with part with it gracefully and plant a new one beside it.
      All the Best!

    3. Hi,
      sunlight , partial also and direct for some time of the day is essential for flowering plants.Mine growing in full sunlight getting direct sun latter half of the day.
      Adding ready mixes available from nurseries helps, if you are not comfortable with cowdung, as this is best, at least twice a year.
      hope this helps.

    4. Thank you for your response, Rizwana. I waited for three weeks, no growth has happened. Looks like I will have to part with it and plant a new one beside it. Is it alright to remove the plant and chop and use it's wood as compost to the new parijat plant? Since it is considered divine, it feels inappropriate to throw it.

    5. So sad the plant did not come up, please leave the roots intact till the new plant beside grows. maybe this may come up you may cut the top portion if your wish.

    What will cause the leaves to turn yellow pls? Most of my leaves have turned yellowish green. What could be wrong?

    Thanks
    Sharmila

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sharmila thanks for coming by Garden care Simplified.
    Yellowing of leaves is sometimes a natural growth process and sometimes needs attention.In many cases the plant sheds leaves and grows taller and healthier.
    If unnatural yellowing is seen , leaf drop, change of weather, from sudden hot to cold may be one reason.
    skipping watering at regular intervals so the plant dries off gradually.
    yellowing is sometimes a sign of distress, look at the plant, clogged soil? I take immediate action many times to revive the plants, as I have lost too many by wait and watch.
    as for weakness of plant try adding a few crushed egg shells .
    Hope this helps, All the Best!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thank you so much Rizwana. My plant is not drying off. I have recently put manure for all plants. I will try the egg shell route also! I water my plants early in the morning. Do you think i should water again later in the day?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Sharmila, nice to know the plant is not drying.
    Manure, is a two sided sword,but required for blooms, many times when we add manure, the plant goes in distress by yellowing leaves, dropping shedding leaves, maybe the quantity is much more, manure has been added,
    as for watering twice, I do when such symptoms are seen, it looks the plant has got too much feeding better to wash off some,
    when adding, mix well, manure, distribute it well over the pot and some also under one inch of soil.
    see what may be the reason and take care!

    Champa and Parijata two wonderful fragrant flowering plants! The size of pot depends upon available space, we have one champa flowering plant growing in metal bucket! and it seems happy and blooming!
    Then there is the wide mouthed 20 inches container that can grow huge tree like plants.
    Some people also go in for growing in drum sized containers and they work out just great to grow large trees.
    Two symbolically spiritual plants you are growing , Give them space top grow out and branch and they give out lovely fragrant blooms.
    Do you wish to plant a huge plant in centre of house for stability, then go in for Chinese Bamboo as this requires less sunlight and care.
    If it is for ornamental purposes you can plant any ones that require less sunlight and watering. Jade trees are also very auspicious and great feng shui plants for attracting wealth, happiness and prosperity, if you can find a healthy one.

  58. Hello Bala, welcome to Garden Care Simplified! That's really sad since pests are difficult to control in land based plants. As with pots we put it in full sunlight.
    Parijat plant is prone to white fungus attacks and bugs white flies.
    This usually happens in winter season. And as the sun goes stronger the plant gives out new shoots.
    Try to trim some parts with more of these.
    Give thorough bath frequently and usually they have to be cleaned by hand removed physically.
    Pest control solutions I am afraid also kill the plant as they do to the pests.
    Washing usually helps as they get drowned with more water with pressure.
    Try this, hope this helps! All the Best from Rizwana!

It may be in a tiem of shedding and quiet time phase, where most leaves shed out , let the tree be, it will spring up , just keep adding water and regular care. You can try adding some fertilizer by digging up the soil and adding some fresh soil to help the quality and nutrition quotient of the soil.
    I don't know whether you will believe , but after so many years.with plants... I do.. this may be a reason of evil eye negative energy, tie a black ribbon or some shiny object on the tree.
    Hope this helps! and do share the happiness when it recovers! Blessings! www.razarts.com

  61. Hi its a gr8 article.. I bought this plant in Jan 2014, and planted it in a big pot..waited for about more than a month but the plant was nt showing any growth then i put fertilisers (cow dung as well as fertilisers available in market for plants)it took a few months and i could see few new leaves.. So happy i ws but a few days before i again fertilized the plant and nw since two three days my plant is shedding off..its kind of drying leaves have started turning yellow and gradually falling.. Plzz help me is it coz of over fertilizing or the sunlight..my plant gets direct sunlight after noon nd i water it daily once in the morning..plz let me know what is the problem and what should i do protect my plant.. Thanks

  62. Anonymous Welcome to Garden Care Simplified! Oh its sad that this happened, yes too much fertilizer!
    Try giving the plant a thorough wash, so that excess fertilizer is drained. I am sure it will spring back since it gets sunlight. Also try to water twice for few days.
    Hope this helps!

  63. Hello,

    Nice informative article and posts. I too have a parijata plant from past 2 years. It bloomed last winter and then all the leaves and branches dried down. The 2 main branches died. Luckily it started to grow again from the bottom from past 3 weeks and have 3-4 branches now (half a feet long), however, the leaves curls and burns. I am not sure why. The pot is quite big and I fertilize it too. Water it regularly.
    The plant is getting bright sunlight i.e. from 12PM onwards till evening.. can it be reason why the leaves are burning? And why do they curl before burning? I see no pests or problems such as that.

    FYI, I leave in Maharashtra, India and temperature these days is close to 40 deg C.

    Regards.

  64. Yes Anonymous the Parijata is not a full sunlight loving one, it loves direct sunlight for few hours. And as you mention its really hot, the leaves in way to conserve moisture curl first and then they burn.
    If there are no pests, try watering the plant twice during hot times, this works for my plants, I am sure it will spring back healthy!

  66. Hello,

    Thank you for replying. I have moved the plant a bit in the shelter so it gets sun for 2 hours in the morning and in the late afternoon i.e. after 3 PM.

    BTW, the pot is quite big (30 inches wide at the top and 18 inches at the bottom AND 2 feet in height) and the soil is always wet below and gets dry on the top. Do you still think it will need water twice a day? The roots wont rot?

    Regards

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh now I understand! No the problem is with the roots. I have such type of pot and nothing seems to grow in this due to the soil not getting wet till bottom. And now the pink white clusters have taken a liking to this large pot after I mixed the soil with thermocol and pebbles at bottom to make it lighter,and then added sand mix with soil.
    Check the roots, they are not healthy, I usually plant them in another pot. All the Best!

  68. Hello,

    This is the new pot I am referring to.. changed only a month ago. Before that I used to have a small pot and the plant had no new shoots because the roots didnt had enough room to grow.

    I will try water it thoroughly for a week or so to see if it makes any difference.

    BTW, I have a hibiscus plant too (3-4 feet tall). New shoots are appearing but the green leaves have many tiny yellow spots. Do you know why this happens? It gets only morning sunlight till 11.30AM. What is the water and sunlight requirement of this plant?

    Regards.

  69. Hi the plant it seems is not taking too well to the large pot, happens with my plants many times and I get sacred and go back to the other pot, just a bit larger. Plants do not adjust to changes, I have seen that is from small pot to a very large one, its a gradual step.. hope your plant adjusts fast , and picks up growth, All the Best!

  76. Parijat plant I have heard does not grow fast, but you may try Deepak. Since it is monsoon maybe the plant may take root faster. Usually people add rooting hormone and nutrient rich soil, I am not very much into all this I still go natural with my plants and prefer buying ready ones from nursery. All the Best from Rizwana!.

    try to add water more and see that it drains well. and shift the plant to a different place, try more or less sunny spots, it might get a growth spurt.
    Also check for ants or pests on the stem or near roots.

  85. That happens dear Kum Kum, we had had many losses over the years, and I would so struggle, but guess some plants have really weak genes and some are so sensitive they do not adjust to new environment, do not survive. Still the loss is felt as it comes down to our personal emotions as every time we buy a new plant with hope and excitement.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Kum Kum, yes sure will guide you, this time you choose a healthy plant, to avoid these experiences of loss. while buying a parijat plant, in fact any new plant check for the following points that I will share in a post. Then buy a new plant.

    Sometimes if the plant is kept under full sunlight they lose fragrance. The fragrance is strong only when in partial shade and immediately after opening of the flower. Try to shift your plant in a partial shade area and see. otherwise then maybe the plant is another lily family type.

  93. Hey Rizwana!
    Very informative post & such detailed replies to all the queries :)
    This subtle flower remains my all time favorite !
    I potted a parijatham sapling 3 months ago. As soon as i placed it on my balcony, the leaves completely dried & withered. But, they grew back, denser & bigger. And, now the yellow spots are coming back. What could be the issue? It's getting ample sunshine & water, placed in a well draining pot. It's grown about 6' plus now. Any idea when it is will likely start blooming? I just can't wait for it to start :)
    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Oh Thank you so much dear Archana!Yes this is a favourite one not only for its religious symbolism but also the colorful orange stem.
    1) Yellow spots may be a sign of high level of salts and fertiliser.
    2) If the plant has grown healthy try trimming some tips of all branches, this will trigger blooming.
    3) I dont know the age of your plant , usually it takes the first baby plant some time to give out first blooms.
    4) Sometimes I have seen that all the leaves drop and then fresh greens come up, this happened with my mogra plant, dots on leaves, but the awesum one has given out many blooms after this leaf shedding.
    So lets hope you be prepared for some great show of blooms!

  101. Hello rizwana,

    my parijat leaves are drying quickly. Its grown in a pot with mahagro potting mix. the leaves are drying and curling. Soil has enough moisture. What may be the cause of this. And I feel that parijat leaves do not like direct exposure to sunlight when young.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes Damodar the Parijaat loves indirect sunlight. I usually never use any such mixes as I don't know how the plant will take to these ready mixes. The parijaat is more prone to fungus, and white one,leaves curl and dry and this spreads fast. Bath , spray with water helps to stop the spreading of fungus. Change position of pots to a more sunny spot, this will bring the growth spurt. Hope this helps!

  104. Hello Vijay, 1) there comes a time when the plant is exhausted with producing flowers and takes some time out, quiet time.
    2) You can check the plant for pests, as these affect growth and flowering.white fungus sometimes overtakes all the tree and leaves turn white and drop.3) Trim some ports as this triggers fresh growth.4) check if the plant has become root bound, too many roots in the container so growth becomes slow.5) If its a container shifting places works wonders!Hope this helps!~ All the Best from Rizwana!

  105. I have planted two Private saplings,one at the front and the other at the back side of my house. The plants were there feet high when planted. Within six months after planting both the plants have grown about ten feet. I am in Bangladesh and the blooming time for Parijat flowers in Bangladesh is soon approaching. Should I trim the plants immediately so that the plant come to blooming? What is the process of trimming? It is worth mentioning that it is the ending periods of rainy season in Bangladesh.

    1. Kabir, if the blooming time has already come then it is better to wait, and see, because we usually trim plants after summer, and before rainy season and then they give out flowers.
      This is the process I follow, and now just in rains all my plants give out beautiful blooms.
      The time for flowering also depends upon each plant , as their maturity age. You may trim some and keep some, that's what I do when I doubt!this way if they are about to flower some stems give out buds immediately. Hope this helps!.

    1. Prasad, the flowering depends upon age of the plant and also many times after flowering for many months the plants go in rest period. then they are quiet, sometimes no growth is seen and no flowering, then after fertilizing and trimming they pick up fresh growth.
      Yes do check if the stems are dry, as what you say, then please, check for any buds or new growth and then trim these dried branches.
      Once I accidentally trimmed a branch of kamini bush with buds, felt so so sad, immediately I planted the stem in another container and we have a new plant!
      You may add some feedings to nourish the soil. Hope this helps!

    I have 3 parijata flower plants.
    2 in pots and 1 in ground.
    The pot plants are not really growing rapidly but the one in ground has shown rapid growth.
    I planted them 5 months ago and the ground plant has big green rich shiny leaves, im really happy.
    However its going to be October and have heard that they bloom near durga puja.
    I donot see any buds, the plant is now 2 feet high with multiple branches in all directions.
    Should i supply some cow dung or chemical fertilizer to be sure about the flowering ?
    Im being impatient but i really want the plant to be blooming in the autumn cool winds in the festive season.

  112. Dear Divine Rizwanaji - Greetings! Namaste! Thank you for the blog to share knowledge with amateurs like me and the love n dedication you have for the beautiful garden. I will be moving to a new apartment, which has a small balcony. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE "parijat & raat ki rani" and dream of them adorning this balcony some day, but was skeptical till now due to space constraint. Having come across your blog, I feel I can give this a try. SO my one and only question is -- at the very minimun how much depth (top to down), length (left to right) and width (front to back) do we need for 1 plant of each type? Basically I have a balcony wall, where I am "constructing" 2 rectangular pits of concrete and stone. I plan to directly put soil in them to plant my planters, because putting individual pots on a stand is not possible in that space. Please let me know how much minimum area will do -- I am dying to get these plants and am hoping you can help :) Much thanks in advance for your help... With gratitude and blessings!!!

    1. Hello Sunkan, temperature changes, seasonal changes do affect flower size and output. Also sometimes if the plant has overgrown to maximum size in container and roots have no more space so the plant starts giving less flowers. Trim some shoots of the plant, and if it is in container , move to a different space, shifting plants helps sometimes in case they are bored.If spring has set in you can also add some feedings, that brings a flowering spurt. Hope this helps, Happy Gardening! All the Best from Rizwana!
