Pongamia pinnata aka Karanj

Karanj is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

During the cold period, it is common for Karanj to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

Karanj’s native range is E. Asia - Indian subcontinent, through south-east Asia to north-eastern Australia, Fiji and Japan.
