How to Grow Hadjod :

Hadjod is typically propagated by the use of its seeds, although it can also be done by severing a branch from an established, flourishing hadjod plant. Simply place the branch into the soil that has been covered, give it a little water, and in a week or two, as the roots grow deeper, the branch will develop into a regular hadjod plant. Additionally, you must be careful not to water it too frequently, as doing so could cause the plant’s roots to become submerged and eventually letting the plant die.

In Fact in some cases you would not even need to water it if the branch falls down off the plant and it simply outgrows into a complete new plant sapling on its own.
