How to Grow Turmeric Indoors—as a Houseplant or to Harvest

Choose the Right Pot

Use a large, well-draining pot to give turmeric enough room to grow.

Start with Rhizomes

Plant fresh turmeric rhizomes in the soil, ensuring they are about 2-3 inches deep.

Provide Plenty of Light

Place the pot in a bright spot with indirect sunlight, ideally by a window.

Maintain Humidity

Turmeric thrives in humid environments, so consider using a humidity tray or misting the leaves.

Water Regularly

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, as turmeric needs consistent moisture.

Fertilize Monthly

Use an organic, balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.

Harvest After 8-10 Months

Once the plant starts to die back, the rhizomes are ready to harvest.
