Question
Hello, from Miami, Fla. My question, while repotting my Curcuma. I noticed these potato like root balls attached to the bottom of the Curcuma root. Is that normal or should I remove them. They weren't there when planted. The original root is like a ginger root, not sure if those are good or bad. Thank you for your time. Alex.
Answer
Dear cool12, species of Curcuma produced tubers on the roots, and some species produce spherical tubers just like in your photograph. These are normal and don't need to be removed. Best wishes.
