Sweta Musli is now the most demandable drug and has been frequently used by medical fraternity as vitalizer, health tonic, aphrodisiac, and vigor enhancer. In the 17th century Rajanighantu has introduced the first time and now it gained a most demanded drug worldwide. In India, Sweta Musli is known by the name of Chlorophytum species and Asparagus adcendense. Chlorophytum borivilianum is superior among them and due to high demand and overexploitation it entered the critically endangered species category. The global demand of Sweta Musli is 35000 tons per year, which is higher than supply from the wild as 5000 tons per year. In order to fill the market demand, farmers have started cultivating Chlorophytum borivilianum, a fast-growing and high active potential species. There is lack systematic information about the cultivation practices of the plant and farmers have been planting improperly and uprooted before maturing, resulting in less weighted tubers and economic loss. The study is an attempt to present the systematic information of cultivation practices of the plant.
