Bergera koenigii is a tropical to subtropical evergreen tree that typically reaches a height of 4.5 meters (15 feet) and spreads about 3 meters (10 feet) in its natural environment. Its leaves are pinnate, featuring up to 10 pairs of leaflets arranged along a central stalk, and they emit a strong aroma, making them a key ingredient in Indian cooking. This species produces terminal panicles of fragrant, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom intermittently throughout the year, followed by clusters of red berries. It is best cultivated as an indoor plant or kept in a cool conservatory during winter in areas prone to frost. In summer, it can be moved outdoors to take advantage of increased light and humidity.
