The present study aims to document vegetative propagation and ex-situ conservation of important medicinal plants used in the homeopathy system in India, with emphasis on meeting the increasing demand for herbal drugs and conserving genetic diversity. One hundred medicinal and aromatic plant species representing diverse families and growth habits were propagated using mature stem cuttings. Cuttings were raised in polybags containing a mixture of sand, manure, and soil (1:1:2) under regulated watering to ensure root initiation and growth. Well-established plantlets were transplanted into prepared beds in the Centre of Medicinal Plants Research in Homoeopathy (CMPRH) Herbal Garden for ex-situ conservation. The study primarily evaluated propagation success and growth performance. Results highlight that favourable climatic conditions and proper management practices significantly enhance the successful cultivation and conservation of medicinal plants. The aim of the present study is to document the propagation and ex-situ conservation of some important medicinal plants that are being used in Homeopathy medicine system in India.
