Tuberose
Tuberose plants are usually grown from tubers, which are oblong or roundish with flat ends. The plants grow 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) high, and the leaves are linear-lanceolate shapes that grow up to 36 cm (14 inches) long. Tuberose flowers come in a variety of colors, including pure white, lilac, pink, cherry red, and yellow. The tubers produce orange-red flowers in the summer.
Tuberose plants prefer a sunny location and well-drained, moist soil. They need a minimum of six hours of sunlight a day. It is not necessary to fertilize tuberose plants if the plants are grown in fertile, humusy soil with good drainage. Dry conditions will cause the plant to wilt and die if not irrigated.
Tuberoses are poisonous when ingested by humans, especially children; they can also be toxic to pets. Some people are allergic to tuberose pollen.

Tuberose plants can be propagated from tubers or by dividing the plant in fall after the leaves die down. The tubers must be planted with the buds facing up and should not be allowed to dry out before planting. After planting, water is enough to keep the soil moist but not soggy wet.
Tuberose plants are usually grown from tubers (not seeds), which are oblong or roundish with flat ends. The plants grow 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) high, and the leaves are linear-lanceolate shapes that grow up to 36 cm (14 inches) long. Tuberose flowers come in a variety of colors, including pure white, lilac, pink, cherry red, and yellow. The tubers produce orange-red flowers in the summer. Tuberose plants have a very strong fragrance, and their scent can be described as a combination of gardenia and tuberose.
Tuberoses are popular cut flowers with a long vase life. In India, they last as long as three weeks. Tuberoses are also a popular ingredient in bridal bouquets and receptions. However, they can be difficult to grow because of their high moisture needs and susceptibility to pests.
Global tuberose production
Tuberose is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to Mexico and Central America and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Tuberose is a perennial plant with an underground rhizome from which fleshy leaves and white, tubular flowers arise. The flowers are pollinated by night-flying hawk moths, which are attracted to their strong floral scent.
Tuberose is grown commercially for the cut flower and oil industries. The majority of commercial production takes place in India, where the plant is also known as rajanigandha. Tuberose is also cultivated in Thailand, China, South America, and Africa.
The flowers of the tuberose are used in several different ways. Fresh flowers are often used as decoration or in vases, while dried flowers are sometimes used in potpourri. The oil extracted from the flowers is used in perfumes and scented products. Tuberose is also a popular choice for use in religious ceremonies and rituals.
Tuberose has a long history of cultivation, dating back to the Aztecs and Mayans in Mexico and Central America. The Spanish brought the plant to Europe in the 16th century, and it has been widely cultivated there since. Tuberose is now naturalized in many parts of the world, including parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
