Consejos de cultivo
Cardamom requires 40-60% shade canopy; interplant with native shade trees to mimic its natural forest understorey habitat.
Harvest capsules when they are three-quarters mature (green and firm) and dry at 45-50C to retain green color and aroma.
Maintain clean ground cover around plants and remove dead panicles to reduce capsule rot and improve pollination access.
