==How to plant/cultivate==
Danti prefers humid climate for better growth. Well-drained sandy loam soils with pH normally ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 are good for its cultivation. But it can also grow in soils with pH up to 8.2. This is a shade loving plant but can be grown in open sun when cultivated. Low rainfall areas are not conducive for its growth.
