How To Keep Curcumas Healthy

By Linda Hayes


Having a house plant is never made hard and unappealing knowing that there are several flowers which both grow easily and are so beautiful when they do. One of those would be the curcuma flower which are entirely elegant to look at especially during summer when they bloom fully. They basically are so in love with heat that they do bloom during such season. This tropical plant comes in several hues such as pink, white and purple and sometimes an amazing combination of all three. They sure are perfecta and would accentuate the gardens making it more stand out than it is.

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.

They may be planted independently, they are not like those other flowers which is in need of other plant to survive. But, adding some kinds of flowers with them sure can add an accent to the garden which is nothing less than pretty and lovely. The only problem that may arise and risk their survival is when the winter comes because they could not withstand such climate. They would normally frost and die.

When it dies, there is no way of having them grow once more without planting them back. To prevent this from happening again, try temporarily transferring them on a place where it is not exposed with the frost. That is the best way to prolong their life and longevity.

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.

To make the quality of soils be better than it is now, try adding some organic matters in it. It could be a compost or anything which is fairly accessible. For those sand and clay type of soil, be sure to add the organic matter right before the planting of the plant is done so that the quality of soil they stand on can be of great help for their growth.

Water them regularly especially if they are not reachable of natural rain. Then fertilizing them during right season can also make a little long way for them. Use a general purpose fertilizer during summer and spring and only use recommended amount.

Prune the plant during autumn. That way even when the other plants around them are fading and falling, they remain fresh and still looking good. This also would keep them tidy and nice to look at.

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.
