About Kodiveli Ver (Leadwort Root):-

The Leadwood plant, also known as kodiveli, is a perennial shrub will grow up to 6 feet in height. Its dark green ovate leaves can reach lengths of up to 6 inches and half as wide. Despite being fast-growing, the plant's size can be easily managed through pot size adjustments and regular pruning. The white flowers form dense racemes and bloom throughout the year, requiring regular pruning after flowering to maintain vigorous growth. The small cocklebur-like fruits of the Leadwood plant have adhesive properties due to the soft spines covered in glue-like substance, allowing them to adhere to various surfaces. Medicinally, Kodiveli ver, pattai, and seeds of this plant are utilized for their healing properties in natural medicine practices.
