Rubia cordifolia Seeds – Manjistha, Indian Madder, Common Madder
General Description
Rubia cordifolia, commonly known as Manjistha, Indian Madder, or Common Madder, is a perennial climbing herb from the Rubiaceae family, native to the Himalayas and various parts of Asia. It is highly valued for its medicinal properties, natural red dye, and role in Ayurveda. The plant has long, trailing stems, heart-shaped leaves, and small, star-shaped flowers, producing clusters of dark purple berries.
Plant Characteristics
Manjishtha is a fast-growing, woody climber, reaching up to 1.5–3 meters in length. The stems are slender and covered in fine hairs, often climbing over nearby vegetation for support. The dark green, heart-shaped leaves grow in whorls, and small yellow-green flowers appear in clusters, eventually forming deep purple berries. The roots of Manjishtha contain a natural red pigment, historically used for dyeing fabrics and medicinal purposes.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil with good organic content.
• Light: Grows well in partial shade to full sun.
• Watering: Moderate watering; keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm and tropical climates but can tolerate cooler temperatures.
• Germination: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Sow in moist soil at 20–28°C. Germination occurs in 2–4 weeks.
Uses and Benefits
• Ayurvedic Medicine: Traditionally used as a blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, and skin health enhancer.
• Natural Dye: The roots produce a rich red dye used in textiles and cosmetics.
• Ecological Benefits: The climbing habit makes it useful for soil conservation and natural fencing.
• Ornamental Use: Adds greenery to gardens and trellises, with attractive foliage and small flowers.
