Rajnigandha, also known as tuberose, is a beautiful flower that blooms at night and has a sweet fragrance.

It originated in Mexico and was brought to India by the Portuguese.

Rajnigandha is a perennial plant that can be easily grown at home using organic methods.

It requires direct sunlight, well-draining soil, and a specific potting mix.

It takes about 90 to 120 days for the plant to flower, and once it starts flowering, it will continue to bloom for up to three to four months.
