Botanical Name: Sisus qudrangularis
Common Name: Hade sante
This plant gets its appropriate Botanical name from its quadrangle shaped stem, which is a phylloclade stem. Xerophytes are plants which need less water to grow. It is found in sub-tropical parts of the world. It grows in well drained soils, and is usually planted in soils mixed with sand.
Propagation: through stem cuttings, the stem is cut with one or two nodes space and should have at least 2 auxiliary buds.
I usually, push the cut stem into the soil, with one node inside the soil.
This is a medicinal plant and the use can be easily known from its local Marathi name: Hade sante: sante roge means arthritis. The stem of this plant is believed to have properties of strengthen the bones due to it’s high level of calcium content found in the plant.
The stem of this plant is crushed to extract the stem residue or the musillenagious juice. This juice is spread in a flat plate, where it is let to dry and the dried residue is scrapped from the plate into a bowl and a small content is consumed daily. This helps people with low calcium levels.
