@@MiddleEastMilli Just growing the plants a bit larger with more roots before moving them on to their final pots. I can't move them outside until May, so I've been holding them back. They grow huge, like Ginger, almost too big for indoors! They need an outside growing session for adequate harvest.

Just came across your channel. You explain very well. Thank you for taking the time and going over small details. I cannot find part 2? Please post the link.
My best friend, thank you for another great video. turmeric is definitely one of the best to grow for health benefits! i use it daily in food and also as tea.
This is going to come in handy tomorrow! Thanks Jeff! For some reason when my tubers got here I thought to put them in water whilst I figured out what to do with it. I was so excited to see you soaked yours. Whew. Tomorrow we plant. haha.
Can you help me find your part 2 video? I’m at that phase in my own turmeric adventure and didn’t realize I’d need to transplant again. Your videos are fantastic!
I tried to plant a little piece from 1 centimeter big. It now looks like a banana tree. I guarantee, they will not stop growing. And they grow super fast.
@@1voiceCriesOut It's kind of sad, but you should just kill the plant, and harvest the roots. You can plant a few back after that. It is not a big problem, because it grows so fast. You can also dig up what you need, and leave the rest.
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.
@@Amoondar Peat moss grows freely in many places with nothing but some moisture. They don't even need rain. Just give them some shades. And they will grow all by themselves. They can even grow without soil. Put a rock in some shade and you will see moss growing on it. LOL It is one of the earliest life forms on this planet. And they survived millions and millions of years. They provide the earliest organic matter allowing modern plants to thrive.
@@trumplostlol3007 you gotta do more research. My partner worked at many grow shops so we know all about the industry. Moss growing on rocks and peat ARE NOT the same thing.
Thanks Sudha! Basically the same as Ginger! Maybe a little warmer.... I also find it less vigorous, but some people say the opposite! Lol. Let me know how it goes!
I gotta try that.. will go get some organic tumeric tomorrow and give it a try as well as I am having 3 shoots of ginger indoors for this winter and it seems good without a artificial lighting so far, only the balcony outdoor daily lights. Fingers cross 🤞hopefully it works. Thanks 🙏 🇨🇦
That was a neat video and will seriously try it out now where did you get the square pots? Looking forward to part 2 video....all the best from cold NY!
Most nurseries use the square pots for their smaller plants. They may not sell the plants in them, but they'll have tons for free. The 4", 5" and 5" ones are the most useful! I can't believe how the cold is coming in....ugghhh! Ha ha, happy growing.

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.
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
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!
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
Thanks! Yeah, I ended up having to bring mine inside because it just didn't grow fast enough to beat out the coming fall. So I have 11 pots of it growing inside now, going to do a transition video into larger pots, then a final harvest video! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms awesome, thanks for getting back to me....sorry for the late reply I have notifications turned off and just saw your reply now. I just started soaking some turmeric and ginger and looking forward to trying to grow both. I still need to pick up a heat mat, hoping to get one this week. Looking forward to seeing how yours do, thanks!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms maybe I put outside where it is in the 90s and heat index up in the 100s until fall when the temperature starts to drop below 69 and then bring inside.
It's a great question. While I have no doubt that it would probably work... Turmeric (and Ginger) tubers have all they need to sprout and grow right away. It's only after a couple of weeks that they need a potting mix and extra nutrients. Whenever I've gone with a straight potting mix, I've had far more tubers rot than by going with peat moss or coco fiber.
Nope, not yet Patrick....just growing the plants a bit larger with more roots before moving them on. I can't move them outside until May, so I've been holding them back. They grow huge, like Ginger, almost too big for indoors! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I just took my turmeric and ginger out from the winter storage box and put them back in containers to get them started earlier, indoor of course.
Where would I find turmeric plants at I been buying the power Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone of us Amen May God always bless ya all Amen
In my childhood if we get minor injuries we would just throw turmeric powder on wound there were no band aids back then.. Same for sore, cold, itchy throad our elders would give us hot milk with pinch of turmeric powder its available in every indian kitchen😊 Till today there is special turmeric ceremony before marriage where we put turmeric for glowing skin.. Kinda beauty treatment
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.
First time trying to grow some tumeric, they just sprouted (I planted in June) didn't know what I was doing so I'll have to bring them in this winter. Hopefully will be able to harvest in April. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Great video!! 👍
Hey Donna, getting them to sprout is half the battle! Definitely bring them inside, they are fully tropical. Try to give them as much sunlight as possible through a window and keep its temperature above 75F. The plants may be delayed a bit, so April might be a longshot, but definitely in the summer you should be harvesting!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you for responding 😊 I will have them under a grow light so hopefully that will work. Any suggestions on watering and fertilizing during the colder months? Thank you for your help, Lol it's my first time so I was just happy to see them sprout 🤗
My turmeric shoots are begining to form leaves, but the leaves are very light-green. Its looks too light-green. I guess its too much sun at such a young age. My Question... is that normal or are the shoots getting too much sun to handle ?
Yeah, the leaves themselves shouldn't be a different color than the stems. It's not a super dark green plant to begin with, and they do love full sun, but check that you're not over watering or over heating them. Let me know how it goes bob.
Hey Sushma, you can water the trays while they are sprouting if they dry out, but I find with the clear domes over top, I don't really have to water them! Cheers. :-)
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?
I've bought ginger in the bulk section of the grocery store. I'm not sure if I've seen tumeric, though. Is it similar in flavor to ginger? I've got ground ginger on my spice shelf; but, no ground tumeric. Tumeric has something in it called curcumin, which shows some preliminary benefit in some studies in treating or preventing some types of cancer.
Yeah Donna, Turmeric is known for some pretty serious health claims. It grows nearly identical to Ginger. Harder to find though. The stuff we get comes all the way through Peru!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms i did do all that, my guess is the soil i used is not really good and besides its raining and the climate is mildly cold these days where i am. Im going to change the soil on it. Is a soil mixed with compost good or what would you recommend?
The Turmeric plant that I have indoors at a south facing window, each leaf that forms will turn brown at the edges and then slowly die. Do you know what causes this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

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?
Just put it in some dirt in a vase indoors next to a window.. you dont need anything else
Is that called germination container? What’s the dimension on that one you used?
Were is part 2?
We have lots of it in Indonesia. Try tumeric drink. Tumeric + brown coconut sugar + tamarind
THANKS AGAIN
I've bought ginger in the bulk section of the grocery store. I'm not sure if I've seen tumeric, though. Is it similar in flavor to ginger? I've got ground ginger on my spice shelf; but, no ground tumeric. Tumeric has something in it called curcumin, which shows some preliminary benefit in some studies in treating or preventing some types of cancer.
Yeah Donna, Turmeric is known for some pretty serious health claims. It grows nearly identical to Ginger. Harder to find though. The stuff we get comes all the way through Peru!
I planted some rhizomes few weeks ago, they still haven't budded. Any advice?
Its all heat and moisture. Weird that they haven't sprouted yet. Did you soak and/or wash them to make sure all growth suppressors were washed off?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms i did do all that, my guess is the soil i used is not really good and besides its raining and the climate is mildly cold these days where i am. Im going to change the soil on it. Is a soil mixed with compost good or what would you recommend?
@@Requiem123 yes the more compost the better.
Well, I looked and looked, and I could not find part 2.
Where is part 2 of growing Tumeric please.
The Turmeric plant that I have indoors at a south facing window, each leaf that forms will turn brown at the edges and then slowly die. Do you know what causes this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Can’t find Part 2.
I just bought some tumeric to plant iam in Bc Canada so need to plant indoors how do I keep it that hot
Same here Val, I'm in Victoria, BC. I use either a heat pad made for plants, a light source, or both.
So get coconut coir from Amazon?
Essentially wherever I can get it Mona. Locally, Amazon, wherever. :-)
I can't find part 2 😢
Can grow ginger & galangal the same way?
Yes
