Betel in plurimis Asiae Meridionalis et Meridiorientalis partibus, et in [[Papua Nova Guinea]] [[Melanesia]]que excolitur. Res repens, firmamenti [[arbor]]is convenientis vel longi poli eget. Eius cultus est peculiare agriculturae genus.<!-- High land and especially fertile soil are best for it. Waterlogged, saline, and alkali soils are unsuitable.

In Bangladesh, farmers called barui<ref name="barui">{{cite web

The land is dug well and laid out into furrows of 10-15 m length, 75&nbsp;cm width and 75&nbsp;cm depth. Oil cakes, cow dung, rotten farmyard manure, and leaves are thoroughly incorporated with the topsoil of the furrows and wood ash. The creeper cuttings are planted after proper dressing in the months of May and June, at the beginning of the monsoon season. The plants are neatly arranged in parallel rows about two feet apart, and the saplings are twined around upright sticks of split [[bamboo]] and reeds. Proper shade and irrigation are essential for the successful cultivation of this crop. The plants are regularly watered in the hot months. The leaves of the plant become ready for plucking after one year of planting and the production of the barouj<ref name="barouj">{{cite web

Betel needs constantly moist soil, but there should not be excessive moisture.; Hencehence, frequent light irrigations are given. The quantity of irrigation water should be such that the standing water should not remain for more than half an hour in the bed. If water loggingwaterlogging by heavy rains or excess irrigation occurs, drainage should be arranged immediately. The best time for irrigation is morning or evening. Dried leaves and wood ash are applied to the furrows at fortnightly intervals and cow dung slurry is sprinkled. Application of different kinds of leaves at monthly intervals is found advantageous for the growth of the betel.
