The nutmegs genus prefers well-draining, rich, loamy soil, full sun to partial shade, and consistent moisture for optimal growth. To plant, first prepare the area with deep soil amendment and a slow-release fertilizer mixed in. Plant the nutmegs seed or sapling level with the ground, spaced out according to specifics of the species. Keep the soil constantly moist but not waterlogged. Monitor for pests and diseases, common in nutmegs plants. Remember, species within nutmegs may have different requirements, so check those individually.
