Mehendi / Henna Plant

The Mehendi, or Henna plant (Lawsonia inermis), is prized for its leaves containing lawsone, a red-orange pigment used for centuries. Known for cultural body art and hair dye, its small green leaves release a staining dye. Cultivated in warm climates with well-draining soil, Mehendi holds cultural importance in traditions, especially in South Asia. Its scientific classification places it in the Lythraceae family.

Bullet Point:

• To care for the Mehendi plant, provide full to partial sunlight and keep it in a warm environment, avoiding cold temperatures and frost.
• Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Allow soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot, and mist the leaves for moderate to high humidity.
• Prune for shape, use balanced fertilizer in the growing season, and repot every 2-3 years.
• Watch for pests and treat them promptly.
• Harvest mature leaves for dye applications on skin or hair, offering both ornamental appeal and traditional use in cultural practices.
