As the plant matures each stem sends up a spike of greenish-white and occasionally pink flowers. The turmeric thrives in warm, humid conditions and well-drained, neutral soil. Following harvesting, there is a curing process which involves boiling of rhizomes in freshwater and drying under the sun. Under the artificial condition, it should be dried at 60°C. Dried turmeric has a poor appearance and rough dull colour outside the surface with scales. Manual or mechanical rubbing and polishing are also utilised to improve appearance.
