True Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a tropical plant that produces the aromatic pods used in curries, teas, and baked goods. With its lush green leaves and ability to thrive in warm, humid conditions, it’s a beautiful and functional addition to gardens, greenhouses, or indoor spaces. It grows best in rich, well-draining soil with partial shade, and the soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once the plant flowers, the pods can be harvested fresh or dried for later use.
A great choice for gardeners who enjoy growing their own spices.
