Can anyone tell me preferred propagation methods for this species?
Being Rubiaceae, I would imagine it would do well from cuttings, but would aerial layers be better?
Apparently it is not easy to get hold of here in brisbane Australia, but I know someone who has a plant and it needs to be pruned about now, I would hate to waste potential propagation material. |

| Hi, I propagated some from cuttings last year with no problems - just used hormone powder, and seed raising mix in individual tubes. Unfortunately my parent was lost to the drought so am glad I did. Remember that for cuttings to have a reasonable chance of success they need to come from a vigorous young plant - they are more difficult from older or stressed plants. Robyn |

Hello! I have been looking for this plant for a long time & was told to google it. So here I am.
I just read that some of you know about this plant so could I be so bold as to ask if you have any or know where I could get this plant. We used to have a farm in Bundaberg & I had one there,but since moving to Brisbane there seems that there is none to be found. I have tried many avenues even phoning a radio station but am told it is hard to get.(that I know)I have tried many Nursery's to no avail.
Hope you can help me.

| Hi Carol. I discovered a couple of years ago that it is near-on impossible to get it retail, ANYWHERE! There was someone selling it here at the Bundaberg markets last year though. |

The plant is located at Malaysia. Thank you. |

| Hi Carol, Try the markets around Brisbane. I often see the occasional Carphalea there, and at good prices! More common in markets than in nurseries. Also, try Palms for Brisbane in Bulimba. They are able to get a lot of special things if you ask them. Hope that helps. |
