Abstract Chlorophytum borivilianum Sant. & R.R. Fern., also known as safed musli, is a tuberous perennial herb with significant medicinal properties that is utilized in Ayurveda, Unani, and herbal medicines. Overharvesting and habitat destruction have resulted in a rapid reduction in wild populations. This study assessed the population density, growth stages, soil qualities, environmental factors, and conservation potential of wild C. borivilianum at four Nashik district locations: Chandwad, Ramshej, Salher, and Dhodap. Plant populations and growth phases were recorded in 5 x 5 m quadrats, with soil and microclimate factors being evaluated. Populations were sparse, with Salher having the highest density (5 plants/25 m²) and Ramshej the lowest (2 plants/25 m²). Seedlings made up only 20-30% of the population, indicating inadequate natural regeneration. Plant survival was influenced by soil fertility, moisture, temperature, and humidity, with loamy sand soils containing more nutrients promoting greater development. Ex-situ cultivation increased survival and uniform growth. The study emphasizes the importance of habitat protection, soil development, controlled propagation, and community knowledge in conserving this medicinal plant.
Keywords Chlorophytum borivilianum, safed musli, population density, soil properties, conservation.
