Curcuma zeodaria is a herbaceous, perennial plant producing clumps of erect pseudostems around 75cm tall from an underground rhizome. Each pseudostem comprises around 5 leaves with blades around 35cm long and 13cm wide.Zedoary is an important home garden crop in southeast Asia. It probably originated in northeastern India, but has long been cultivated and its origins have become unclear. It is also often grown as an ornamental, and is also sometimes grown commercially as a spice and medicinal plant in the tropics
Curcumas have intensive water needs as they require well-drained and moist soil to grow. Throughout the growing season, the soil must be moist. If an area doesn’t receive much rainfall, irrigation is required.
A ready-made, air-permeable primer with a small amount of sand is suitable. For soil preparation: 1 part of turf ground, 1 part peat, 1 part humus, 1 part leaf land, 1 part coarse sand or perlite. Always use a pot with a hole.
The ideal temperature range for curcuma to growing curcuma is between 68° – 95° degrees Fahrenheit (20° – 35° C). If the temperature drops below 50° degrees Fahrenheit (10° C), the plant suffers.
