Patchouli is a tropical crop which can also be cultivated under sub- tropical conditions.
Patchouli grows successfully up to an altitude of 800-1000m
It prefers a warm and humid climate.
Patchouli can be grown successfully under a fairly heavy and evenly distributed rainfall, ranging from 150-300 cm per annum.
It requires deep, well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic, deep loamy soil, rich in humus and nutrients.
It flourishes best in loose deep loamy soils, rich in organic matter which makes a loose friable texture.
The pH of the soil should range from 5.5 to 7.5 for good growth.
