I bought 3 Curcuma rhizones from "Gardeners World Live" at the NEC in June this year. I have put the 3 in one large pot and would like some information on how to care for them. There is one shoot already and that is about 8in. high. I have it inside the house in a sunny position. Any advise...

I do hope its ok to post this on here! If nobody is interested i shall try freecycle.I rescued a citrus plant a few years ago and it looks pretty healthy....Kept in the conservatory over the winter and outside for the summer. It flowers and has very small ? lemons starting to grow. It is in...
