Curcuma ‘Siam Sublime’, often called the Siam Tulip, is a striking tropical plant with lush green foliage and vibrant pink tulip-like bracts that bloom through the warmer months. Despite the common name, it’s actually part of the ginger family and brings a bold tropical feel to bright indoor spaces or sheltered patios in summer.

Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light, but can tolerate lower light if you are ok with a slower-growing plant. 

Watering: Water when the top inch is dry to the touch. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings. 

Temperature: 15-24°C is ideal. Avoid abrupt temperature drops as this plant won't be keen. 

Potting: Well-draining, nutrient-rich soil is best for this plant. Our sandy loam mix is a perfect fit for this beauty.

Hot tips: Curcuma naturally goes dormant in autumn or winter. If foliage dies back, reduce watering and allow the rhizome to rest somewhere warm until new growth reappears.
