It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, like ginger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rapid growth during its active growth period. It develops from underground rhizomes and forms a compact clump of long, lanceolate green leaves. It has a seasonal growth cycle and can naturally go dormant: the foliage yellows and disappears before the plant regrows from its rhizomes in the next cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spectacular and long-lasting bloom. It produces upright inflorescences composed of pink to purplish-pink bracts surrounding small, discreet flowers. The decorative bracts remain attractive for several weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers bright but indirect light. It tolerates some gentle morning or late afternoon sun. Avoid intense direct sunlight, which can burn the foliage and bracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water when the surface of the substrate begins to dry slightly during active growth. Maintain regular humidity without waterlogging the soil. When the plant goes dormant and the foliage disappears, significantly reduce watering to keep the rhizomes rather dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a rich and well-draining tropical plant potting mix, enriched with coir and perlite to maintain slight humidity while ensuring good aeration of the roots and rhizomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-toxic to humans and animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/serreslavoie.com\/collections\/terreau-pour-plante-dinterieur\/products\/terreau-empotage-connaisseur-bio-5l\"\u003eOur potting soil for tropical plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantearium","offers":[{"title":"6 inches","offer_id":43620610670653,"sku":"prod","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9223\/5821\/files\/DSC_4840.jpg?v=1789403129","url":"https:\/\/serreslavoie.com\/en\/products\/curcuma-siam-sisto","provider":"Serres Lavoie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
