Curcuma Plants Care Tips 

Soil - Use moist but well-draining soil for planting Curcuma or Siam tulips. If you don't have well-draining soil, you can improve the soil by adding organic matter.
Water - Curcuma does moderate water requirements, you should water daily during the flowering season and keep the soil moist but try not to over-water the soil. Water less during the winter to prevent the rotting of the tubers.
Sunlight - Full morning sun and some afternoon shade are excellent for a Curcuma flowering plant because too much sun can scorch its leaves while full-time shade does not promote healthy growth. 
Temperature - The best temperature for Curcuma plants is 18-24°C and during winter around 13°C is good for it.
Common pests and diseases - Only spider mites inhibit the growth of Siam tulips, this is due to excessive soil drying out. Whereas fungal diseases infect the plant due to the continuous wetting of leaves. 
Mulch - A thin layer of organic mulch is good for retaining moisture and keeping the bulbs cool during the growing season.
Deadhead - It is not necessary to deadhead Curcuma spent flowers but you can do so to make it more beautiful.
