Proper Way Of Taming Curcumas

By Linda Hayes


There is nothing ugly about having a house plant at home. In fact, it would add a nice shade of color making the ambience way warmer and appealing lessening the stress. The only problem that may arise when having them is probably in the process of maintaining and taking care of them. Sometimes, it is a little frustrating when one does the very best they could to keep the plant but it dies because they were not handled appropriately. And that happens often when trying to place curcuma flower at home even if they are supposed to be grown easily.

Unlike other tropical flowers, these specific species are way easier to maintain and tame. It will not need so much out from the gardener. That would be after they have ensured they have taken the right actions to plant it.

It basically has the capability to be grown by its own but adding these with other floral plants could give a unique accent to it. When curcumas are exposed to cold weather long enough, they normally would not make it and when they die, they typically are not growing back on the ground unless they are planted back again.

To ensure their survival during winter, they may need to be placed on other locations. Place them on temporary pots so they could be carried away from the area they were planted. Find a spot which is frost fee and place them there for the entire summer to prolong their survival until the sun is out again.

Anyway for first time growers of these flowers, first thing they may want to do is find a spot where it gets ample sun exposure. But make sure that it also has some shady parts to keep the plant moist during full sunny weather. Make sure to choose soil which does not dry out easily or if so, it would be best to keep them in partial shade.

Such plants want the soil moist and those which are well drained. Also, to improve its quality even more, adding compost or any organic matter could help. For those clay and sand soil, be sure to add the compost way before the planting is done. At least, the soil has a room to actually be better in supporting the healthy growth of curcuma.

Water curcumas regularly. They have to make sure they do that extra keenly especially if the shade they place their plant in is not reachable by natural rain. Also, adding fertilizer on them during spring or summer is such a huge help in keeping them healthy. But be sure to follow the recommended amount of fertilizer to be added based on what is written at its container.

Have them regularly pruned during autumn. Most of the plants would fade during this time of the year so make a little effort to keep them looking fresh. This also is the easiest way to keep them clean.

There are several gardeners who prefers to deadhead the curcuma or remove those flowers which are faded. This could make the entire plant looking better but it actually is not necessary or a requirement. The other blooming flower would not be affected even if some of which are faded.
