Pot-Grown Cardamom: 5 Tips for a Fragrant Garden & Savings

• Cardamom can be grown in pots using seeds or a store-bought plant; beginners should opt for a healthy plant.
• Use a deep, wide pot (12-14 inches) with well-draining soil (50% soil, 30% vermicompost, 20% sand/coco peat) and drainage holes.
• Place the plant in a location receiving 4-5 hours of filtered light, avoiding direct harsh sunlight, as it thrives in humid, shady conditions.
• Maintain consistently moist soil, watering daily in summer and less in winter, and mist leaves regularly to ensure humidity.
• Fertilize every 3-4 months with balanced organic fertilizer, and use potassium-rich fertilizer during flowering and fruiting for better yield.
