to shed off.

Bark are stripped when plants are in vigorous growth

Leaves and stem are best gathered when plants are in their most luxuriant growth.

- Collect mature leaves from dense stands

- Allow or safe number of leaves in branch to

remain for continuous sustenance and growth of

plants.

- Harvest from plant to the other on rotation basis.
