This plant grows in arid regions, which are characterized by sandy soil, low organic matter, and rainfall deficit. Rooted semi-wooded stem cuttings from six-month-old to one-year-old plants having three to four nodes at pre flowering stage are generally used for planting. Seeds may also be collected in November for raising the plants. [4]
