Origin
The Curcuma alismatifolia Siam Splash, also known as the Thai tulip plant, has its origin in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and Cambodia. This plant, which is part of the Zingiberaceae family, grows in the wild in the humid, tropical forests where conditions are warm and moist.
Characteristics
The distinguishing feature of the Curcuma alismatifolia Siam Splash is its strikingly coloured flowers. The flowers, which range in colour from pink to purple, grow in a turret on top of long stems. The green leaves are large and lanceolate with a lightly crinkled surface. The plant can grow to a height of 60 cm and blooms in the late spring to early summer.
Care
The care of the Curcuma alismatifolia Siam Splash requires attention to its subtropical climate of origin. The plant needs enough sunlight and thrives best in warm conditions. It is important to use a well-drained soil and water the plant regularly. However, to prevent the roots from rotting, the plant must never be left in water. In the winter, it is advisable to keep the plant in a cool, dry place and water less. In spring, care can be assisted by using plant fertilizer.
