Growing Turmeric In 2020 - Part 1 of 2

How To Grow Turmeric From Store Bought Tubers – Part 1 of 2. Turmeric is a rhizomatic tropical plant used for its bright orange fragrant root tubers. Its in the Ginger family and is quite easy to sprout and grow from the organic stuff you buy at the grocery store! Given the health benefits of this amazing root crop, we should all be growing a little organic Turmeric right at home!

In this video, follow along as I teach you how to first successfully sprout the Turmeric tuber, followed by what soils to use, and how to plant up that newly sprouted Turmeric baby! Easy stuff, but there are a few basic principles.

This is a great project for growing indoors and for teaching kids how things grow, as well as the vegetative life cycles of root and shoot development. One of the best indoor projects that you gardeners can do as we wait for our garden beds and plots to thaw outside.

As a fully tropical plant, Turmeric will need supplemental heat if you live in temperate regions or if your indoor temperatures are below 80F. Sprouting usually takes place within a week with viable tubers, although the progress of growth at this stage can vary quite a bit. Give it a try, starting, sprouting, and growing Turmeric indoors is highly rewarding, and most of all, super fun!
