How to plant
After the event, the collected seeds will be taken to the nursery of the National Botanical Garden (JBN) where the germination and growth process will begin under controlled conditions. This nursery has the facilities and trained personnel to ensure healthy growth of the seedlings. Once the seedlings reach an appropriate size, their transfer to specific areas where Thounidium pinnatum specimens already exist or where soil and climate conditions are similar to their natural distribution will be planned. This process will include identifying potential sites, preparing the land, and planting the seedlings with the support of botanical and conservation experts.
