Soil parameters constitutively frame the edaphic environment for the naturally growing plants. Proper response to these dynamic parameters enables the plants to survive and reproduce. Blepharis sindica T. Anders (Acanthaceae) is a threatened medicinal plant of Indian arid zone and reported to grow with progressively declining patchy populations at sandy habitats in Churu region. Micro-environment especially edaphic characteristics, under the canopies of plants impact largely on plant development. In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate yearlong variations in soil moisture contents (as percentage value) and soil pH at natural sandy sites of this threatened species. Values were estimated for both surface soil (0-5 cm) and depth soil (20-25 cm) layers under plant canopies. Data revealed that moisture percentage values remain higher only in rainy months that support seed germination and subsequent vegetative growth of plants. Progressive decline in soil moisture contents as well as increase in soil pH during late growing season seems to exert their effect as culmination of growth in this species.
