It is generally propagated by seeds, but seed germination is low. Tubers and layering is also used for raising plants.  Ground layering of stem is very successful for propagation. The seeds are soaked in water overnight and sown in nursery in month of May. Ground layering may be done with the help of rooting hormones. Stem cuttings also require treatment of rooting hormone. <ref name="Cultivation details"/>
