Ethiopian CardamomAframomum corrorima

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or diseased stems. You can also lightly prune to maintain shape or control size.

Pruning is generally minimal for Ethiopian cardamom and is best done after flowering or in early spring before new growth begins.

Ethiopian cardamom is typically propagated by division of rhizomes. In spring, carefully divide mature clumps, ensuring each division has healthy roots and at least one bud.

Replant divisions immediately into well-draining soil and water gently.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

The best time to repot is in spring, just as new growth begins to emerge.
