It can grow in partially shaded areas and reaches a height of approximately 10 to 30 cm. The leaves are small, round, and slightly concave. Propagation MethodsCentella asiatica can be propagated by seeds, root division, and stem cuttings. When propagating by seeds, well-dried seeds must be sown in the spring, requiring appropriate temperature and humidity. Stem cutting propagation involves cutting a healthy stem from the parent plant and planting it in water or soil to encourage rooting. Cultivation MethodsFor cultivation, well-drained soil rich in organic matter is ideal. It should be watered frequently to prevent the soil from drying out. Providing partial shade can promote healthier growth. It is important to avoid strong sunlight and prevent excessive drying. Uses in GardensCentella asiatica is widely used as a ground cover plant.
