Jayaphal And Jatiphal (Nutmeg) Spice Plant - Naturemart

Plant Characteristics and Benefits

• The Twin Spice: This evergreen tropical plant, scientifically known as Myristica fragrans, is the source of two prized spices: Nutmeg (Jaiphal) from the seed and Mace (Jatiphal) from the bright red aril.
• Aromatic Foliage and Flowers: Features shiny, dark green, aromatic leaves and produces small, fragrant, creamy white to pale yellow flowers.
• Culinary and Traditional Value: Highly valued in Indian cuisine and Ayurveda for its uses in cooking and traditional medicine, known for aiding digestion, promoting sleep, and enhancing mental clarity.
• Growth Habit: An upright evergreen tree that develops a dense canopy. It can be grown in large containers on balconies or as a large tree in the garden (up to 30-60 feet).

Essential Care and Requirements for Indian Gardens

• Sunlight Needs: Prefers Partial Shade for the first few years of growth and benefits from some shade during intense afternoon heat. Mature trees can tolerate full sun (4 to 6 hours of direct sun daily).
• Water Needs: Requires Medium watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but ensure it is never waterlogged, as this can harm the plant. Water deeply when the topsoil begins to feel dry to the touch, especially during hot summer months (irrigation every 5-7 days is often needed in summer).
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, fertile, loamy, or red laterite soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (5.5-7.5) is ideal.
• General Care: Apply well-rotted cattle manure or a balanced organic fertilizer regularly to support healthy growth and fruiting. Mulching around the base helps maintain soil moisture. Protect the young tree from strong winds.
