Maintenance of viable germplasm and its subsequent propagation plays an important role in long term conservation of many RET species. <em>Nepenthes khasiana</em> is a rare and gravely threatened species in the wild due to over-collection and other threats. The species needs urgent <em>in-situ</em> and <em>ex-situ</em> conservation. Development of easy to propagate techniques would pave faster multiplication for its use of educational, medicinal and horticultural purpose. In the present paper, successful propagation technique of <em>Nepenthes khasiana</em> through seeds is demonstrated along with detailed information on precautions to be taken during the adoption of the techniques.</p> ER -
