How to Care for the Plant
Water
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.
Fertilizer
Don’t hesitate to mist the foliage in dry weather as it helps increase the humidity levels.
Sunlight
Curcuma plants thrive best in full sun as they stay moist and healthy in hot climatic conditions.
