How to Plant Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Seeds

Planting Season:

Plant Patchouli Seeds in spring after the last frost, or start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost for an earlier start.

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to help break dormancy and encourage germination.

Planting Instructions:

• Depth: Plant seeds about 1/8 inch deep in well-draining soil.
• Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
• Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade. Patchouli thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil, rich in organic matter.

Water and Care

• Watering Needs: Keep the soil moist during the germination period. Once established, Patchouli is drought-tolerant, though it benefits from regular watering during dry spells.
• Temperature: Patchouli thrives in warm climates, preferring temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage healthy growth and fragrance. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which may encourage foliage growth over fragrance.
• Pruning: Prune lightly in early spring to remove dead or damaged growth and encourage new, fragrant growth.
• Pests and Diseases: Patchouli is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids or whiteflies. Neem oil or insecticidal soap can be used for organic pest control.

Perfect For

• Fragrant Gardens: Ideal for creating a sensory garden that delights the senses with its earthy, aromatic fragrance.
• Herb Gardens: Patchouli is a unique and aromatic herb that adds both beauty and scent to herb gardens.
• Borders and Edging: Use Patchouli in garden borders, along pathways, or around flower beds to create a fragrant barrier or natural hedge.
• Pollinator Gardens: The small flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the health of your garden ecosystem.
