How To Grow Turmeric Indoors

Similar to ginger, turmeric is grown from rhizomes (root cuttings). Turmeric does not propagate seeds. So all you need is one turmeric root which you can find at your local health stores.

To grow turmeric indoors, just follow these simple steps:

1. Break a larger rhizome into a small rhizome piece that has two or three buds.
2. Fill your pots with rich organic soil, which is lightly moist but well drained.
3. Place it about two inches below the surface of the soil, with the buds facing up.
4. Water the container.

That’s all there is to it!

Note: Turmeric will benefit from bi-monthly feedings of a good organic fertilizer or compost tea.

How To Water Turmeric

Turmeric likes water. Keep the soil moist, particularly in hot, dry climates. Try watering it once every 2 days or misting with a spray bottle. If you live in cooler climates, water less frequently. The key here is to keep the soil from ever getting soggy.
