Instructions d'entretien
Kaempferia galanga prefers bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It should be kept in a location with moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.Récolte
Kaempferia galanga, commonly known as aromatic ginger, is typically harvested for its rhizomes. The best time to harvest is when the plant's aerial parts start to wither, usually around 6 to 8 months after planting. To harvest, carefully dig around the base of the plant to avoid damaging the rhizomes. Once unearthed, the rhizomes should be cleaned and dried properly to prevent mold and decay. It's important to handle the rhizomes gently to maintain their quality and medicinal properties.Sol
Kaempferia galanga prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Adding compost or other organic matter can help improve soil fertility and drainage.Engrais
Fertilize Kaempferia galanga with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the plant's dormancy period.Rempotage
Repot Kaempferia galanga every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use fresh, well-draining soil. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Kaempferia galanga can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes. This is best done during the plant's dormancy period. Carefully dig up the plant and separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has at least one growing point. Replant the divisions in fresh soil and water thoroughly.Taille
