Growing Tips: Curcuma

Grow in shade/partial shade. Despite having tropical origins, most curcuma varieties dislike spending the entire day in unfiltered sunlight. Curcuma requires fertile beds in addition to well-draining soil. Problematic clay soils can be overcome by adding organic matter before planting for optimal plant performance. Water regularly in dry climates, Curcuma thrives with approximately an inch of moisture each week while actively growing. Prune in autumn for an aesthetically pleasing and tidy look.       VIEW JUST A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES BELOW:
