Morpankhi (Platycladus orientalis), the Oriental Arborvitae, is a compact, slow-growing ornamental conifer widely used in Indian gardens. Its distinctive flat, fan-shaped sprays of scale-like green foliage, arranged in vertical planes, resemble a peacock's feather, giving the plant its Hindi name. Naturally forming a dense, conical to rounded shape, it is ideal for formal hedges, borders, foundation plantings and pots. Hardy and tolerant of heat, pruning and varied soils, it stays attractive year-round and needs little care. Native to East Asia, it adapts well to the plains and hills of India and is a favourite for low-maintenance evergreen structure.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Morpankhi?

Water when the top few centimetres of soil dry out, roughly 2-3 times a week in summer and less in cooler weather. Avoid waterlogging.

How much sunlight does Morpankhi need?

It grows best in full sun to light shade, with at least 4-6 hours of direct light to keep foliage dense and well coloured.

Is Morpankhi safe for pets?

Like most arborvitae, it is mildly toxic if eaten, so keep pets from chewing the foliage.

Can Morpankhi be grown in a pot?

Yes, it is excellent in pots for balconies and entrances. Use well-drained soil and repot every 2-3 years as it grows.

How is Morpankhi propagated?

It is propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings and from seeds, with cuttings being the quicker and more reliable method.

What common problems affect Morpankhi?

In hot, dry conditions spider mites and bagworms can attack, causing browning. Hose down foliage and treat with neem or miticide.

Does Morpankhi produce flowers?

As a conifer it does not have showy flowers; it is grown purely for its attractive evergreen, fan-like foliage.

Is Morpankhi an indoor or outdoor plant?

It is mainly an outdoor plant needing good light, though potted specimens can sit in very bright spots for short spells.

Is any part of the plant poisonous?

The foliage is mildly toxic if ingested, so it is best kept away from young children and pets.

What fertilizer is best for Morpankhi?

Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring and again during the monsoon to support steady, healthy green growth.
