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!

Thanks for the info, after watching your vid, looks like I can’t plant them now as summer is ending here and you said it needs a lot of warmth and humidity to sprout. I also don’t have any space indoors to do this. Btw, I also don’t have germination trays nor coconut fiber soil, just good potting mix or compost, and large pots and I’ll have to grow them outdoors in Spring. Will that do?
Hey where's the video part 2? Did you do it yet?
Thanks! Your great:)
Hey where is part 2 of growing turmeric?
So get coconut coir from Amazon?
Have you completed part 2 of this great series?
Would regular potting soil work as a sprouting medium or is it best to use something more fibrous like the coconut fibre?
It worked like a charm thank you for advice I am growing my own!! So exiting thank you Thank you
Where is part 2 of growing Tumeric please.
You can remove the shoot and roots from the mother tuber. Just plant the shoot and roots. Put the mother tuber back and it will sprout again. I use peat moss which is much cheaper than coconut fiber. I also stuff as many tubers into the peat moss as possible. It really doesn't matter.
Is that called germination container? What’s the dimension on that one you used?
Where's the part 2?
Great video thank you
I have an odd scenario, in which a friend gave me some tubers and I set outside in my lanai and forgot about them. Now, 4 months later and still sitting in a cup by themselves, i found them again and they started to sprout on their own. Florida heat and humidity did it on its own lol. My newb gardener question is if I should still soak them or place tubers right into the 1020 tray? Sorry for my ignorance, everyone starts somewhere and I’m excited to get these going… thanks in advance!
Hi , please tel me, did u keep the rhizomes in day light or in dark for germination?
Any recommendations for my 7 year old grandson for something beginner friendly super easy for him to grow for a school project here in sunny south Florida
I tried to find the Growing Turmeric in 2020 – part 2 of 2, but could not find it anywhere! In your channel – not there! Is it not out yet? July 27, 2021
Loving your channel. Mixing your potting soil thought. Why not put the materials in a pot (I'm thinking of using an old cement mixer that I have and mix it. This gives time to thoroughly mixed the components of the mix.
when will part 2 be out?
Unable to find tumeric 2. ???
The turmeric that I bought from Vermont Bean and Seed is pretty much round the first year I let it stay in the pots and stopped watering it . Near spring I started watering it and put it in a window area for light till spring. The second year I left it to grow in the same dirt. In the fall I pulled the tubers out soaked them in water and kept them in the near dark till early March. This 3rd. year I separated them and left the main tubers with s few of the small young ones attached. After about 2 months they started to sprout and the main tubers never sprouted but remain firm. I left the tops just out of the dirt. The attached tubers are the only ones that sprouted? Many of the smaller tubers that I placed in 4 to 6 inch pots sprouted . I have never had one flower. My tubers are rounder than yours and this year I'll give away many of the smaller plants. I'm wondering if I have the right turmeric? My wife is very tolerant of my experiments but I told her the blossoms would be worth the wait. What can I do to make them bloom? I can find a different source of tubers if you let me know what type to look for, or ware to buy them. please help If you can.
