Curcuma

Siam

With its sturdy, long flower stems and extravagant flowers, Siam Curcuma is a welcome houseplant every spring from April onwards, giving your interior that delicious 'tropical touch' in no time.

Care tips

Your Siam Curcuma comes from Asia and therefore prefers a bright and sunny spot on your windowsill at home. But it will also do fine in the conservatory, roof or on the balcony as long as temperatures do not drop below 15 degrees Celsius. Water your Siam Curcuma at least twice a week and add a dash of liquid plant food once every two weeks.

    Curcuma

    Origin
    Siam

    Originally, Siam Curcuma comes from India, Malaysia and Thailand where this beautiful plant is also called the Siamese or Thai Tulip. Curcuma belongs to the Zingiberace family, which also includes the ginger plant. The most common varieties are Curcuma alismatifolia, Curcuma domestica and Curcuma longa. Curcuma has been cultivated for more than 5,000 years.

    In the Far East, Curcuma has had a strong reputation for centuries. It plays an important role in Ancient Indian [Ayurvedic] medicine and herbalism and, with its slender yet powerful appearance, makes people feel comfortable.

    Siam Curcuma is not suitable for consumption. Specially grown varieties are used for cooking with Curcuma.
