Oxystelma esculentum | Rosy Milkweed Vine | 20 Seeds

Description: Oxystelma esculentum, commonly known as the Rosy Milkweed Vine, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Native to South Asia, this climbing or trailing plant is characterized by its twining stems, opposite leaves, and clusters of small, pale pink to white flowers. The plant's distinctive feature is its inflated seed pods, which resemble small balloons containing numerous seeds. While the Chhatim is found in various habitats, it is particularly prevalent in arid and semi-arid regions. The plant plays a role in traditional agricultural practices, as its seeds are sometimes used as a substitute for soap due to their natural saponin content. Oxystelma esculentum showcases the diverse uses and adaptations of plants in South Asian ecosystems, contributing both to traditional knowledge and local biodiversity.GerminationGerminating Oxystelma esculentum seeds involves several steps to ensure successful sprouting. To enhance germination, scarify the seeds by gently nicking or filing the hard seed coat, mimicking the natural processes they would undergo in the wild. Soak the scarified seeds in water for about 12 to 24 hours to improve water absorption. Following this preparation, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix, burying them at a depth of about twice the size of the seed. Maintain a warm and consistently moist environment for optimal germination, with temperatures around 70-80°F (21-27°C). Consider using a seed tray or plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect, enhancing humidity. Germination may take several weeks to months. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into well-drained garden soil.
