The plants can be raised by vegetative propagation as well as from seeds. Best method for raising the plants is to use vegetative cuttings of length 10 cm, which should have two nodes. These cuttings may be planted in polybags or directly in mist chamber for rooting. Scarified seed germinates after seven days of sowing in the nursery. <ref name="Cultivation details"/>
