Turmeric requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept in a humid environment. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. During its dormancy period, reduce watering.Ernte
Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, is typically harvested 7 to 10 months after planting, when the leaves and stems start to dry out and turn brown. To harvest, carefully dig up the rhizomes, ensuring not to damage them. After harvesting, the rhizomes should be cleaned, boiled or steamed for about 30-45 minutes, and then dried in the sun or a drying chamber until they are completely dry. Proper drying is crucial to prevent mold and ensure long-term storage. Once dried, the rhizomes can be stored whole or ground into powder.Boden
