The plant is a partial parasite and can not be grown in soil. It can not grow on even a guava tree because it needs cracked bark to hold and penetrate in to the rind. It can be made to grow on Bottle Brush, Cork Tree, Parijatak, Acacias and many other trees. Give an account of all the trees in your garden to choose a suitable one. You can just pick ripe berries from under the Dendrophthoe plant and purge them to attach the sticky seed on to the bark. You can also collect such seeds ejected by the Flowerpeckers from their favourite perches. Wish you good luck. Regards, Shrikant
