: If I had a henna plant, it would take three years for me to be able
: to harvest it, right?
: If I used the leaves fresh, how many Indian brides (finger to
elbow,
: toe to knee, pretty much coated) could I do with one plant's
: sustainable harvest, or how many plants would it take?
: Where do I find info on growing henna so that it gives as fine a
: stain as possible?
: Lauren, considering a basement garden

As far as im aware the henna plant can grow up to 6ft although
plantations tend to keep em smaller. They also grade it as with any
crop.....older leaves are used only for hair.

Difficult bit i would find is that out of the 25 seedlings i started
in Feb.....i have one.....suffering badly but hanging in
there....henna plant left!
