Mode of Propagation
How to plant/cultivate
Holarrhena pubescens can be propagated by seed, either by direct sowing or by raising seedlings in a nursery. Fresh seeds have a high percentage of germination, but in seeds more than one year old the viability is low. There are 32,000–35,000 seeds/kg. The seed usually germinates in 2–3 weeks. In India the species is successfully intercropped with field crops. [4]
Commonly seen growing in areas
Wild in mountains, Meadows, Borders of forests and fields.
