Mithai to grow, not to eat. The Diwali Grow Kit from Purple & Pure is a Deepavali gift that looks like Indian sweets but grows into plants. It is a complete kit: seed mithai pieces, cocopeat and fertiliser, all packed in a festive tin that doubles as the planter. Plant the mithai in the tin and watch it grow into green amaranthus and bright marigold, the flower of Diwali garlands and rangoli.
Please note: the mithai pieces are made of seeds shaped like sweets. They are for planting only and are not edible.

Frequently asked questions
Can you eat the mithai?
No. The pieces only look like mithai. They are made of seeds and are meant to be planted, not eaten. Keep them away from young children who might mistake them for sweets.
What does it grow into?
Green amaranthus and marigold flowers.
Do I need soil or a pot?
No. The kit includes cocopeat and fertiliser, and the festive tin is the planter, so you can start growing straight away.
Is it a good Diwali return gift in Singapore?
Yes. It is affordable, complete, fun to open, and leaves guests with a growing plant instead of plastic or packaging waste.
Can I order in bulk for my company or event?
Yes. Purple & Pure takes bulk and corporate orders for Deepavali. Order early to allow time before the festival.
