Celastrus paniculatus (Climbing Staff Tree, Mal Kangani, Intellect Tree) Seeds
Celastrus paniculatus, commonly known as the Climbing Staff Tree, Mal Kangani, or Intellect Tree, is a woody, perennial climber from the Celastraceae family. Native to India and Southeast Asia, this plant is highly regarded in traditional medicine for its seeds, which are believed to enhance memory and cognitive functions. Its ornamental appeal and ecological benefits add to its widespread cultivation.
Characteristics:
• Plant Description: The Climbing Staff Tree is a vigorous climber that can grow up to 10–12 meters, often twining around other vegetation. It has woody stems, ovate green leaves, and small, greenish-yellow flowers that bloom in clusters. These are followed by round, orange-yellow seed capsules containing black seeds enveloped in a red aril.
• Seeds: The seeds are the most valuable part of the plant, known for their medicinal properties, particularly in traditional Ayurvedic practices.
• Climate Adaptability: Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, often found in forests, hillsides, and thickets.
Uses and Benefits:
• Medicinal Applications:
• The seeds are used in Ayurveda and traditional medicine to improve memory, treat neurological disorders, and enhance mental clarity.
• Other parts of the plant are used to treat joint pain, inflammation, and digestive issues.
• Ornamental Value: Its dense foliage and bright orange-yellow seed capsules make it a visually appealing climber for fences and trellises.
• Ecological Role: Provides shelter and food for birds and insects, contributing to biodiversity in its native range.
• Traditional Uses: The oil extracted from seeds is used in therapeutic massages and for treating scalp conditions.
Cultivation:
• Sowing: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates. Sow seeds in well-drained soil in nursery beds or pots and cover lightly with soil. Keep moist until germination, which typically occurs within 2–4 weeks.
• Growth Conditions: Prefers full sun to partial shade and grows well in sandy, loamy, or rocky soils. It is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during dry periods.
• Maintenance: A low-maintenance climber that requires minimal pruning. Can be trained on trellises or left to climb naturally in wild areas.
Unique Features:
• Medicinal Seeds: Revered in traditional medicine for their cognitive-enhancing properties.
• Resilience: Adaptable to various soil types and climatic conditions, making it suitable for challenging environments.
• Ornamental and Functional: Combines visual appeal with practical applications in traditional healthcare.
Shipping:
Available for shipping within India and worldwide. Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 weeks.
