Elettaria cardamomum (Green Cardamom Plant) – Exotic Tropical Foliage for Home & Garden

Transform your indoor plant collection or garden oasis with Elettaria cardamomum, also known as the green cardamom plant. This lush, perennial herb from the ginger family is prized for its striking, tropical foliage and aromatic leaves, making it a standout choice for gardeners and plant lovers alike.

Key Features & Benefits

Tropical Appeal: Grows 2–4 meters tall, with long, deep green, lance-shaped leaves held on sturdy stems—perfect for creating a lush, exotic look indoors or outdoors.
Aromatic & Edible: The leaves release a delightful fragrance when brushed, and mature plants may produce beautiful white flowers with violet accents in summer, followed by the famous cardamom pods. While fruiting is rare indoors, the foliage alone is highly decorative and aromatic.
Versatile Placement: Thrives as a houseplant, in home gardens, vegetable gardens, or as part of a rain garden. Ideal for temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates.
Low Maintenance: Prefers partial shade and well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and maintain moderate to high humidity for best results.
Indoor & Outdoor Use: Perfect for bright, indirect light indoors or dappled shade outdoors. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight and protect from cold drafts or frost.

Plant Care Tips

Water: Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging.
Light: Provide bright, filtered light or partial shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Temperature: Keep above 10°C (50°F); growth slows in cooler conditions.
Soil: Use fertile, slightly acidic, sandy-loam soil for optimal growth.
Pests: Generally pest-resistant, but watch for thrips. Avoid chemical insecticides.

AMAZING PLANTS AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE

The plants I received were so well packed for transport and just completely healthy with lovely thick stems and perfect foliage. I 100% recommend buying from The Australian Plant Shop as they will make sure you get a plant that is value for money.

Ginkgo biloba

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!

The Australian Plant Shop

I bought 4 plants for my son and am very happy with the service and the quality of the plants provided. I am an older person and wasn't comfortable with the online site for ordering so was able to speak with a person who was very helpful and happy to help me with my order. This is a great business for plant lovers.

Great Customer Service Despite Some Delays

Although there were some hiccups during the process, including stock issues and a 20-day wait, it’s clear from the quality of the plants I received that the store is genuinely committed to customer satisfaction. I appreciate their effort and will likely shop here again and recommend them to friends.

Super scented and really healthy

I went to some mid-size and tiny ones at the beginning of spring. All of them looked radiant and well taken care of, with some buds already blossoming and releasing a powerful scent. I will buy it again!

I got a bit of issue with the order due to incorrect postcode input, contacted the shop and got fixed, the plants got delivered with no further issue. Hopefully they will thrive and give me a beautiful and fragrant garden soon! Will continue support your business!
