Cardamom

Place the seeds into a bowl and cover with lukewarm water; allow to sit overnight.

If planting outdoors, plant your seeds ½ to 1 inch apart, about ⅛ inch deep in a partially shady place. They prefer rich humus soil that’s slightly acidic. Alternatively, you can plant cardamom seeds in a pot, so you can bring the plant indoors to overwinter.

Cover with a mulch of straw or grass. Germination can take anywhere from 20 to 40 days.

Division

You can also divide cardamom rhizomes that are at least one year old with two growing stems to get more plants
