For a detox juice, an infusion or to season your pumpkin velouté, ginger is the extra ingredient that will make the difference. Therefore, it is no coincidence that lovers of this rhizome want to have it throughout the year. To turn this wish into reality, here is the trick that will allow you to have endless ginger, from a simple flower pot.

How to infinitely get rid of ginger from a pot?

Instead of scouring stores for   ginger to flavor your meat marinades  , poultry, stews, or herbal teas, why not consider growing it comfortably at home from a simple, no-fuss pot?

Since this tropical plant is native to Southeast Asia, it is necessary, if you want to grow it in France, to offer it favorable conditions.

As ginger is a plant that especially appreciates heat, it is important to ensure that the temperature does not drop below 20 degrees.

Get a fairly large pot. Ginger grows mainly in width, so there is no need to opt for a deep pot and ensure that the distance between each of the roots exceeds twenty centimeters. Instead of planting seeds, you will need a ginger rhizome. It should be firm and rather light green in color.

With a clean knife, cut the rhizome into several pieces of about 3 centimeters. Ginger should be dry and clean before planting. If, on the other hand, it is damp, let it rest for 48 hours to prevent rot.

Once this time has passed, you can plant your ginger pieces in shallow but fertile soil. Then cover everything with a layer of substrate of about 5 centimeters and do not hesitate to water abundantly.

How do you care for homegrown ginger?

Planting ginger at home   may seem simple, but the most important thing is knowing how to care for it. This plant especially appreciates heat, care must be taken to ensure that it is exposed to the sun daily. Place its pot on a windowsill or near a radiator to allow the plant to absorb heat.

Like most roots and plants, ginger needs regular watering. It is imperative that the substrate remains moist. But dampening does not mean drowning. If you don’t want the ginger to rot too quickly, water it sparingly.

If you are a fan of eco-responsible gestures and compost your organic waste, vermicomposting can be useful for growing ginger. Ginger planted in early spring can benefit from the benefits of vermicomposting in late June. In summer, your pot will be in its place on your windowsill or in your garden. Direct sunlight should still be avoided as it could burn the ginger. You can start enjoying the latter and its vitamins from October by incorporating it into pineapple juice or a thyme and lemon infusion to benefit from its antioxidant, medicinal and stimulant properties that promote digestion and combat bloating.

To give flavor to your dishes and make culinary preparations, it is important to enhance your recipes with fresh aromatic plants and other varieties such as ginger. With this technique and a little ingenuity, you can grow ginger all year round.
