Plants reach about 3 m height with 3Propagation mainly by seed.5 cm stem diameter in 2 years, in 4 years about 5 m height and 7 cm stem diameter. Flowering and fruiting is almost throughout the yearExperimentally, drug plants have been propagated from cuttings but in India there are usually two main flowering periods, one in the early monsoon and another in the late monsoonsuch plants do not come true as to drug content of parent.<ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
