It is fairly easy to grow, and requires the same conditions as regular turmeric plants. Planting season begins in Late march and continues till June. Planting later can result in very low harvests as the plants naturally stop growing in mid-winter (or earlier as per local temperatures and water availability.) To plant, simply place one rhizome in a 6-12 inch hole and cover it with soil. Adding compost while planting, and then regularly during the growing season, helps improve plant growth and harvest size. planting on raised beds or mounds can be useful in areas prone to waterlogging, and alternatively, sunken beds can help in regions prone to dry spells. Plants in the ginger and turmeric families prefer containers 12 inches in size for adequate root development.
