Summary:
The Betel leaf is cultivated in most of South and Southeast Asia. Since it is a creeper, it needs a compatible tree or a long pole for support. Betel requires high land and especially fertile soil. Waterlogged, saline and alkali soils are unsuitable for its cultivation. The betel quid, or paan, as consumed in various parts of the world, consists of:

• betel leaf with areca nut and slaked lime
• betel leaf with areca nut, slaked lime and tobacco
• betel leaf with tobacco, but without any areca nut
• betel leaf with areca nut and other spices or ingredients, but without tobacco
• betel leaf with areca nut, tobacco and other spices or ingredients

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 believed advantageous for the growth of the betel.
