Medicinal Uses of betel Leaf (Paan) Plant:

Betel leaf is a rare herb except in Asia, though it has many medicinal benefits. The leaves are especially helpful for clearing the bronchial passages, cough, and cold and for the female reproductive system.

 

Paan Plant’s Care Instructions:

 

Temperature: With its origin in India, the paan plant is a tropical creeper, growing well in the humid and warm climate of most Indian states. Temperature ranging from 10-30 C is good for its growth.

Soil: Although paan plants can grow in a wide range of soils, sandy loam soil is ideal for its growth. The major requirements for growing paan are soil with organic matter and good drainage. You can also add some sand in the soil if you are dealing with clayey soil.

 

Water: Paan plants require regular watering and slightly moist soil. Reduce the frequency during the rainy season, as too much irrigation can cause root rot. Another thing to keep in mind is choosing a well-draining soil, especially when you’re cultivating it in a pot, so that the water-logging may not become a problem.

 

Sunlight: Betel plant grows well in a hot and humid climate. An area with mild shade is preferable, several hours of bright morning sun help the plant. So, if you’re growing paan in your home, select a location that receives filtered sunlight. Avoid keeping this plant in a position that receives intense afternoon sun. If you are growing betel leaf plant indoors, make sure to choose a spot that receives plenty of indirect light.

 

Fertilizer: This refreshing herb is not a heavy feeder, but fertilizing once every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer like 10-10-10 or  20-20-20 will keep it growing. If you’re into organic gardening, it’s best to side-dress the plant 2-3 times in a year with well-rotted cow manure, which is easily available everywhere in India.

Harvesting: Within four to six months after planting, it’ll be ready for harvest. You can pick off the fresh aromatic leaves for various uses.
