Basic requirements :-
Nutmeg is a tropical plant and requires dry periods to flower. It will grow best at temperatures between 20 and 30°C (68–86°F)

Nutmeg vs. Mace :-
Although both spices come from the same tree, nutmeg and mace do differ from each other. The mace, which is the outer coating of the nutmeg seed, is removed first and ground into a red-colored spice, while the nutmeg pit or seed can either be kept whole or ground up.

Nutmeg has a milder taste compared to mace and is sweeter and more delicate; mace is a little spicier and can be described as a combination of pepper and cinnamon. Even though they grow as one, they are rarely used together in a recipe.

Climate and soil:-
Nutmeg thrives well in warm humid conditions in locations with an annual rainfall of 150 cm and more. It grows well up to about 1300 m above mean sea level. Areas with clay loam, sandy loam and red late rite soils are ideal for its growth. Both dry climate and water logged conditions are not suitable for nutmeg cultivation.
