How to grow ginger

Preparing the Site:

Enrich the potting soil with plenty of compost. Make sure you do this a few weeks before planting the ginger.

Required Materials:

The materials required for growing ginger are basic garden tools and materials. You will also need a ginger root, a pot, potting soil and a glass of water.

Submerge one thirds of the ginger in the glass of water. Leave it in until the roots are about an inch long. After that, plant it on top of the soil and then cover it with a layer of soil an inch thick.

Move it to an area that has plenty of sunlight. Since it is in a pot and is mobile, you won't have a hard time doing this.

Watering Requirements:

Ginger doesn't need much watering. However, you must keep the soil moist; be careful that it does not dry up.

Nutrients Required:

If the potting soil was enriched before planting, you won’t need to add any fertilizer when the ginger is growing. All that it needs is adequate water and sunlight.

Seasons:

Ginger is known to be stunted in growth during the cold seasons, but thrives during fall.

Expectations/Results:

Planting ginger is not that difficult. Your ginger will be ready for harvest in just 4 to 5 months. Ginger plants grow to a height of 2 to 4 feet when they reach their maturity.
