How to Grow Caralluma Tuberculata/ چونگ کو کیسے آگایا جاتا ہے

Caralluma tuberculata grows abundantly on the mountains in the FATA and its surrounding districts in Pakistan. C. tuberculata in a local Pashto language is called Pamankay, which is combination of Paman and kay (paman translates as pimple, kay translates as thing). Due to its appearance people use this plant to regulate blood pressure and also to treat pimples.  It is also used to reduce sugar levels in diabetes patients. Peoples eat their raw fleshy leaves either as salad or cook with minced meat which removes its bitter taste. The present study focuses on the nutritional, proximate, cytotoxicity, phytotoxicty and pytobiocidal values of C. tuberculata in order to assess its beneficial value as a medicinal plant.

It can be propagated through cutting and seed. Propagation through cutting is very simple while seed took long time to become a plant.
