After finishing planting as beds of the betel nut keeping the betel nut bed in the shade, it should be watered daily. If in sunny weather it has to be watered twice daily. Germination of betel nut will start in 21 of days. In 4-6 weeks of planting, start to avoid the shade gradually. Take 6-7 weeks to remove the full shade if many leaves are appeared. However, giving of little shade is still important too. As the betel nut grows the height of temporary shade giving crossed lines should be changed and implemented as they grow higher.
