Hi, Can any body tell pls how to grow cardamom at home and where to get real cardamom plant . I am based in Sargodha. 3 Years back i got one plant from nursary named as cardamom plant and its now 5 feet in height . Today when i checked on net the real images of plant to find out why not my plant is giving production after years, i was shocked to see images were totally different than i grew at home , However plant leaves smells like cardamom seeds .

Climatically very difficult. If it could have been..... it won't have been Rs.4000/kg

Extracts
"Won't survive outdoors even in summer. Requires a heated greenhouse or a very warm, shady humid place inside a building...hot steamy bathrooms are ideal. Minimum temperature 22°C, but will tolerate a little colder for a short time if kept very dry at the roots"

Grows well in tropical regions with lot of rainfall.

sooo tough plant..it means that plant sold to safdar malik is fake cardamom.just leaves smell like cardamom as they sell a plant whose leaves smell like black pepper but not black pepper.it is common in Pakistan.
