Plant in a Box Curcuma alismatifolia Siam Splash - Set of 4 Turmeric

The Curcuma Al Siam Splash is a symbol of Asian nature and culture. It is often seen in countries like Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and India. The plant is also known as the Thai tulip due to its beautiful pink flowers. Furthermore, the herb from several Curcuma species has been an important part of Indian medicine for centuries. Today, the herb is still frequently used in many dishes. Unfortunately, this Curcuma plant will not produce the herb, but it is still very appealing for indoor spaces! This Curcuma can bloom from June to September. In fact, the flowers are not true flowers but colored leaves that are meant to attract insects.

Care
The sunlight in the rainforests of Southeast Asia is very bright, and therefore the Curcuma prefers a location with plenty of sunlight. For example, a window sill is the ideal spot for the Curcuma. However, be cautious of too much light in the summer, as the leaves of the Curcuma can burn. If this happens, temporarily move the plant to a spot with a bit more shade. When temperatures exceed 15 degrees Celsius, the plant can also be placed outside. Additionally, the Curcuma prefers a more humid soil, so water it regularly. Finally, the Curcuma can grow up to 150 – 200 cm tall! Moreover, the Curcuma Al Siam Splash is non-toxic, making it ideal if you have pets.
