Seedlings & garden plants in India

Updated 4 November 2026

Seedlings in India cost about ₹150 to ₹200 for a tray of 100 vegetable seedlings, and a plant in a 4-inch nursery bag is about ₹29 to ₹49, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Post your request on BlaBlaPrice with the plant, quantity and city to see offers from sellers who serve your area.

What the price depends on

• Plant and grade: vegetable seedlings, herbs, flowers, fruit saplings or houseplants.
• Quantity: a tray of 100 seedlings works out far cheaper per plant than a single sapling.
• Age and size: a seedling, a sapling measured in centimetres, or a grafted tree.
• Root system and pot size, which affect how the plant survives the journey.
• Purpose: a balcony pot, a home garden bed or open ground.

State the grade and the variety name in your request, so every seller quotes the same plant.

Season and watering

The climate is tropical, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. November comes after the rains in many cities, so it suits planting vegetable seedlings into moist beds, which then need regular watering through the dry months. Plan the planting date around the monsoon, because waterlogged roots rot young plants.

Seed rules and certified stock

Seed quality is regulated. The Seeds Act lets authorities cancel licences and seize stock of spurious seeds, and seed certification standards apply to crops that are eligible for certification. Ask the seller for their licence number and the variety name on the tray or label, and keep the packaging until the plants have grown.

How it is bought and delivered

Sizes are given as tray counts, pot sizes in centimetres, sapling heights in centimetres, and nursery bags in inches as sellers list them. Ask whether delivery includes packing for the journey, because seedlings dry out in transit. Confirm delivery to your city before you order, since Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai are the cities this page covers.

What to write in your request

Name the plant or mix, the variety or grade, the quantity in trays or plants, the age or size you want, the root system (bare-root, potted or in a bag), the purpose (balcony, garden or field), your delivery city and your budget. For fruit, say which fruit and whether you want a grafted tree.
