- Selecting Containers:
- Opt for containers with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Cardamom plants appreciate slightly acidic to neutral soil, so choose containers that allow you to control the soil pH.
- Soil Mix:
- Prepare a well-draining potting mix with a blend of quality potting soil, perlite, and coconut coir. Aim for a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
- Sowing Seeds or Rhizomes:
- Cardamom can be grown from seeds or rhizomes. If using seeds, sow them shallowly in the soil. Rhizomes can be planted just below the surface.
- Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cardamom plants prefer humid conditions, so consider misting them regularly, especially if you’re growing them indoors.

- Cardamom thrives in warm, tropical conditions. Ensure the plants receive indirect sunlight, and protect them from cold drafts.
