HAVE: Cardamom, Aloe, White Hyacinth Bean Vine, Naranjillas
Comments (2)Hi, I am interested in a cardamom plant, maybe a white hyacinth bean vine. I have the following seeds, not plants: raspberry, blueberry, nanny berry, elderberry, purple hyacinth. I also have some more "usual" items on my trade list, as well as some semi-unusual herbs, not listed on my trade page yet. Let me know and I can compile an updated herb list for you. I understand if you are looking for things more unusual than I can offer. In that case, I can contact you in the future when I have more interesting things to offer! Thanks!...See MoreHAVE: Cardamom, Aloe, White Hyacinth Bean Vine, Naranjillas

Comments (16)not totally sure what you are saying, but I'm assuming you are pulling off all of the storage roots of the boesenbergia. I've noticed some in the markets tend to be quite damaged. If the roots (i assume this is what you are calling fingers) are broken then they can rot, and of course aren't going to help the plant out. On a normally healthy rhizome though, removing the storage roots is only going to slow the growth down considerably. It may also be that you are starting with a dormant plant and watering too much in the beginning, causing the rot. The flower on these is attractive (at close up) but quite small and somewhat obscured. easy plant to grow though. Tim Chapman...See MoreCardamom leaves
Comments (4)According to P. Recher from Fruit Spirit Botanical Gardens (he was a few times on Gardening Australia), a lot of what is sold as Cardamon is in fact Alpinia sp. He mentions A. calcarata but mine flowered for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it looks much more like A. speciosa... Here is a link that might be useful: cardamon...See Morebarbe_wa
