All Details

Nutmeg is a valuable spice plant grown for its aromatic seeds and mace, widely used in cooking, medicine, and perfumes.

I am an evergreen spice tree famous for producing nutmeg and mace, known for my warm aroma and rich flavor.

I originate from the tropical regions of Indonesia and have been cultivated worldwide for spices and medicinal use.

I need regular watering with moist but well-drained soil, especially during dry periods.

I prefer partial sunlight to full sunlight and grow best in warm, humid environments.

I thrive in temperatures between 20°C to 35°C and do not tolerate frost or cold winds.

I grow best in fertile, well-drained soil planted in open ground with good air circulation.

I respond well to organic compost, well-rotted manure, and balanced fertilizers applied periodically.

My scientific name is Myristica fragrans and I belong to the Myristicaceae family.

I should be kept away from pets as nutmeg seeds may be harmful if consumed in large amounts.

I help improve surrounding air quality and maintain a healthy green environment.

I provide valuable spices, medicinal properties, and economic benefits for growers.

I may suffer from fungal diseases or nutrient deficiency if drainage and humidity are not managed properly.

I am a long-living tree and can produce nutmeg fruits for several decades.

Everyday: from 8:00AM to 6:00PM
