patchouli plant
growing patchouli?
does anyone have any knowledge of patchouli plants? i’m having a hard time finding info on caring for them and their growth habit. i have one plant that i purchased at a larger nursery in my area(chicago) and it’s doing quite well outdoors in the ground. i haven’t been able to get back to the nursery to ask them about it and this is more fun than making a phone call. also, does anyone know how to dry them? thank you
She cannot live in the freeze maybe?
a results page for “how to grow patchouli”:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=how+to+growpatchouli&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7
usually it is good to ask for the government pages too when u research a plant but since this one is not mainstream there were only a couple hits when i searched “fact sheet” and the scientific name of the plant:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Pogostemon+cablin+fact+sheet&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7
another good one is to use the scientific name and cultivate or cultivation. or, if u are making babies use the word propagate or propagation and the name of your plant.
to get the scientific name use the common name and the word classification.
and last but not least…”how to steam distill essential oils”. i think u may have been looking awhile for that string of words. i had to try a few different ones:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=how+to+steam+distill+essential+oils&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7
you asked how to dry but i thought i’d throw that one in there because distilling is a fav for patchouli. otherwise, drying herbs is pretty easy. all u have to do is avoid mold. so that means no HOT and WET. it can be warm air only if the air is dry. if it is humid, they will need help. like cooling (like hang in front of the air conditioner or put in a paper bag in the fridge) or else if no cooling then accelerated drying (like in an oven with a pilot light or else at very low heat).
best is to use a long time to dry it<
some folks dry before distilling. some do it fresh.
like i said earlier, idk if they can take freeze. u will find out when u check the links. but if it turns out that she IS tender and can't winter over, then harvest her before the freeze comes. if she freezes i think it is likely her aromatic value will be ruined. i think u harvest leaves throughout the season..u will find that info too...but just for the end of the year is what i am saying..u gotta watch it. if u want to let her grow as long as possible, then when u suspect a freeze may occur, you can cover her. like with a sheet or bucket or whatever. the first freeze will be a light one so then u will have time to harvest her.

on the very first link i gave u there will be some forums where u can chat about gardening and such.
also here is a general gardening forum:

and u were right, this was fun.
