Have patience with initial sprouting, they have a tendency to stay under ground cozy until summer starts, keep moist but not soggy. Turmeric prefer loose sandy soil which is enriched with compost. A potassium and calcium rich addition such as bone meal t your soil will go a long way. When turmeric is left in the ground for a second season the crowns and fingers gets extra large.
