Amomum villosum prefers a warm and humid environment. It is not tolerant to cold, is afraid of drought, and is not tolerant of waterlogging. It needs proper shade during the growth period and cannot be exposed to strong light. It likes diffuse light and is common in mountainous valley forests. On both sides of streams with long running water, the suitable growth temperature is between 22-28 degrees. It grows slowly at 15-19 degrees. It can tolerate a short-term low temperature of 1-3 degrees. It will not bloom or bloom below 17 degrees.

Introduction to Amomum villosum

Amomum villosum, also known as cardamom, is a plant of the Zingiberaceae and Cardamom genus. The plant height can reach 3 meters. The capsule is oval and the color is purple when mature. , turns brown after drying, the seeds are polygonal, have a strong aroma, and taste bitter and cool. The flowering period is from May to June, and the fruiting period is from August to September. The types of Amomum villosum include: Chun Amomum, Yangchun Amomum, and Silver Leaf Amomum. Renhe Yingjiang Amomum villosum and others.

Amomum villosum planting conditions

Amomum villosum prefers a warm and humid environment, is not cold tolerant, is afraid of drought, and is not tolerant of waterlogging. It needs appropriate shade during the growth period and cannot be exposed to strong light. , likes diffuse light, and is commonly found on both sides of ravines with long flowing water in mountain valleys and forests.

1. Growth and development: Pollen cannot naturally fall on the stigma. It takes about 3 months for Amomum villosum flowers to mature after pollination, and the maturity period is from August to September.

2. Temperature: Amomum villosum prefers a high-temperature environment. The suitable growth temperature is between 22-28 degrees. It grows slowly at 15-19 degrees. It can tolerate short-term low temperatures of 1-3 degrees. 17 No flowers bloom below the temperature or no powder blooms.

3. Humidity: Amomum villosum prefers a humid environment, requiring annual precipitation of more than 1,000 mm and air humidity of more than 80%. The soil temperature varies with different growth and development stages. During the flowering and pollination period The air humidity needs to be controlled above 90%, and the soil moisture content is 24%-26%.

4. Distribution: Amomum villosum cannot accept strong light and is suitable for maintenance in astigmatism. Amomum villosum is mainly distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, China. It is cultivated or wild in shady and humid places in mountains.

Amomum villosum planting time

Amomum villosum is suitable for planting in spring and autumn. The specific time is mid or late March in spring, and late August to early September in autumn. The temperature at this time is suitable and the survival rate is high.

Benefits of amomum villosum cultivation

In the cultivation of amomum villosum, farmers’ harvesting and processing processes are labor-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in increased costs. Calculated based on the current purchase price of 350 yuan per kilogram, the average The annual income per acre ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 yuan. Excluding seedling fees, labor costs, processing, harvesting and other expenses, farmers' income is still limited. In addition, since amomum villosum mainly relies on manual pollination, this increases the workload of growers.
