For the acclimatization, 24 plantlets were taken as one replicate and experiments were
repeated 3 times. After acclimatization, plantlets were transferred to the pot (18 cm height × 12 cm diameter) containing mixture of clay, sand and vermicompost in 1:1:1 ratio, and shifted to
the nursery with 30–40% RH and about 12 h d−1 photoperiod, 300–400 mol m−2 s−1 PPF light intensity (shaded sunlight) and 35 ± 2 ◦C to 30 ± 2 ◦C day/night temperature.
