What soil and climate does Mulethi need to grow well?

Mulethi prefers a warm, dry to semi arid climate and deep, well drained sandy loam soil, so light sandy soil in a dry area can suit it well, which is why it does reasonably in parts of northwest India. The deep soil matters because the value is in the long roots and rhizomes that need room to grow. It does not like heavy waterlogged clay, which rots the roots. It is fairly drought hardy once established but benefits from some irrigation for good root development. Add organic matter and ensure depth and drainage. Because it is a multi year crop on the land, choose a field you can dedicate for two to three years. Confirm suitability and the planting window with your KVK before committing.
