Description

Gotu kola plant, or Centella asiatica, is a rare and highly sought-after plant celebrated for its medicinal properties. This low-growing herb with rounded leaves is revered in traditional Asian medicine for its ability to enhance cognitive function and promote skin health. Despite its acclaim, locating Gotu kola can be challenging in Europe due to the fact that it's not cultivated on this continent.


The Gotu kola plant was cultivated from seeds sourced from Sri Lanka, nurtured meticulously in an indoor greenhouse in the Netherlands under LED lights. Planted in well-draining soil, the seeds were provided with optimal conditions mimicking natural sunlight. The controlled environment of the greenhouse ensured consistent temperatures between 20-25°C. This allowes the rare and valued Gotu kola plant to thrive even in a temperate climate.

Gotu kola, scientifically known as Centella asiatica, is a low-growing herbaceous plant revered globally for its medicinal benefits. In traditional Asian medicine, it is used to enhance cognitive function and support skin health. In India and Sri Lanka, it's consumed fresh in salads or brewed into teas for its rejuvenating properties. In Southeast Asia, it's integrated into various culinary dishes. Its adaptogenic qualities make it a valued herb.

Shipped with confidence from our nursery in the Netherlands, centrally located in Europe, ensuring swift delivery. Each tree is securely packaged in a special blister in a sturdy cardboard box, guaranteeing protection during transit. This method ensures that your tree arrives fresh and in pristine condition, ready to thrive in their new environment upon arrival. A care sheet is included in the box.

Properties and care

Gotu kola thrives well in a pot in temperate climates.
Use well-draining soil and place in partial shade. Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Maintain humidity around 50-60% and keep temperatures between 20-25°C.

Gotu kola self-pollinates, so no special pollination is necessary. With proper care, your potted Gotu kola will flourish and provide its beneficial properties.

Additional info

Gotu kola, scientifically named Centella asiatica, is a versatile herbaceous plant known by various names across different languages and cultures. In Sanskrit, it is called “Mandukaparni,” which translates to “the plant that resembles the shape of a frog’s foot,” reflecting its distinctive leaf shape. In Chinese, it is known as “Ji xue cao,” meaning “herb of centipedes,” highlighting its traditional use in treating skin conditions. Other names: spadeleaf, hydrocotyle, manduki-parni, madekassol and thankuni.

Propagation of Gotu kola primarily involves both seeds and vegetative methods. Seeds are sown in well-draining soil, kept consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 10-14 days under optimal conditions of 20-25°C. Vegetative propagation is achieved through root divisions or stem cuttings. Healthy sections of the root or stem are planted in moist soil and kept in a warm, humid environment until roots develop and new growth emerges.

Gotu kola is well-adapted to various climates, thriving in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It prefers moist, fertile soil and partial shade to full sun exposure. In addition to its use in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Gotu kola is also valued in culinary practices. Its fresh leaves are used in salads, soups, and stir-fries, while its dried form is brewed into teas or extracted for medicinal preparations.

Overall, Gotu kola’s global recognition underscores its significance as a medicinal herb and culinary ingredient, offering a range of health benefits and culinary delights across diverse cultures.

Great but had a problem
It’s great except you have to finagle the darn thing for it to charge. Sometimes I have to use something to get it to lean just right so it charges. Otherwise it’s spectacular and easy to use! Love the foil cutter tbh, that works like a gem!

Nice tool, but with a 4 year life span.
I bought this on Nov. 2020, after hand surgery left me temporarily unable to do simple yet necessary tasks- like opening a wine bottle. 🤪 It's compact, nicely designed, and reliable. I kept it plugged in all the time with no issues. The only negative so far is the blue light which stays on whenever the unit is in the base, fully charged or not. (Not a fan of the many small yet bright lights from all appliances! Placing a Talking Yoda figurine in front of it blocked enough of the light to satisfy me). I found it easy to use and appreciated the foil cutter. Worked well on all types of corks. Flash forward to spring 2024... Despite the constant charging, the corkscrew dies at maybe a half inch into the cork. Just slows down and dies. Having read earlier reviews, I may try to crack it open and replace the battery. But ultimately, having regained my hand strength back, I'm more likely to go back to an old fashioned, reliable, hand operated corkscrew and celebrate the loss of weird lights and needed electricity. Conclusion: unless you are recovering from hand surgery, just get a good quality non- electric corkscrew and use it for 75 years (optimistically). Best deal ever. And you can take it camping too.
