Jaiphal, also known as Nutmeg, is a premium aromatic spice plant valued for its fragrant seeds and mace, widely used in sweets, biryani, garam masala, Ayurveda, and traditional remedies. The plant produces nutmeg fruits that split open to reveal a richly aromatic seed covered with bright red mace. This variety is appreciated for its long-term productivity, high spice value, and strong adaptability in warm Indian climates.

Jaiphal grows into a medium-sized evergreen tree and can be maintained in pots, terraces, and home gardens during early years. Healthy nursery plants ensure steady growth, strong branching, and future high-quality spice production, making it suitable for long-term home gardeners and spice enthusiasts.

To keep it thriving:
Maintain temperature between 18°C to 35°C.
Provide 35 hours of filtered sunlight or partial shade (prefers soft light).
Water 23 times a week, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Use well-drained loamy soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
Feed every 4560 days with organic fertilizer to support slow, steady growth.
Mulch the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool.
Apply neem oil monthly to protect from pests and fungal infections.
