Plant the rhizomes 2 inches deep with the buds facing up. If your container is large enough, you can plant multiple rhizomes, spaced at least 6 inches apart.
5. Providing Optimal Growing Conditions:
Turmeric thrives in warm and humid conditions. Keep the container in a location where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of indirect sunlight daily. Maintain soil moisture but avoid overwatering. Ideal temperatures for turmeric growth are between 68-86°F (20-30°C).
6. Caring for the Turmeric Plant:
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season.
- Fertilization: Feed the plant with an all-purpose organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning: Remove any yellowing or dead leaves regularly to encourage healthy growth.
7. Harvesting Your Turmeric:
Turmeric generally takes 7-10 months to mature. Once the leaves and stems start to turn brown and dry, it’s time to harvest. Carefully remove the soil around the base of the plant and extract the rhizomes. Wash them thoroughly and let them dry.
