Dear Vijayadas, Thankyou! Need your advise on how to propogate this plant. I was told that this would be fine if kept in a vase, with water changed periodically every week. But I have found that the sanjeevani plant dries up pretty soon. I have to work towards reviving it-very often which is tiresome! So can I repot it in soil? Will it survive in soil or water? How do I take care of it? Looking forward to your response Kind Regards Janaki Turaga
