How To Grow Ginger No Matter Where You Live
Ginger can be sourced online or perhaps from a plant nursery nearby.
If you are having trouble sourcing ginger rhizomes to plant, however, you could consider planting ginger that you have bought in the shops.
It is important to note that some ginger will have been treated to prevent shoots from forming. So you may not always have success with this method. (Soaking the root in water for 24 hours may help by washing away any growth retardant that has been used.)
If the ginger root you have bought develops green growth, however, it is definitely worthwhile giving it a go. Note: the larger the rhizome the faster the ginger will be produced.
Look for a rhizome (root section) with small nodules similar to the chits that appear on potatoes. It is from these small growth buds that your ginger plant will grow.
Choosing Where To Grow Ginger
Before you plant your ginger, of course, you will have to decide where to grow it. In large part, the best location will depend on your climate zone, and the conditions where you live.
