<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo grow ginger you’ll need rhizomes, not seeds, as ginger doesn’t produce any. <\/strong>The rhizome is an underground stem that carries roots and aerial stems. To get an organic harvest, it’s important to choose organic rhizomes, <\/strong>which you can find in health food stores. These have not been treated and can therefore germinate easily. These roots for planting should also be vigorous <\/strong>and not withered or stunted. Also, choose rhizomes that contain multiple growths. Your harvest will be more generous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To grow ginger in a pot, it is important to choose a large container that is also deep, <\/strong>to encourage root development. You can opt for a planter, for example, to accommodate up to 3 ginger rhizomes per container. To promote drainage and prevent root rot, <\/strong>place clay pebbles in the bottom of the pot. Then fill 3\/4 of the pot with a mixture of 2\/3 potting soil and 1\/3 river sand, then flatten lightly. <\/strong>Plant the rhizome flat, without pushing it all the way into the soil. <\/strong>Part of the rhizome should remain visible. Then water, being careful not to leave standing water in the saucer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After planting the ginger, keep the pot in a sunny<\/strong>, warm <\/strong>room , avoiding exposure to direct sunlight. Keep in mind that ginger is a tropical plant that likes heat around 25\u00b0C and constant humidity. Moderate watering is recommended if your ginger has not yet developed its roots, <\/strong>as even the slightest excess could cause your plant to rot. Wait for the first leaves to appear and the stems to rise before watering the soil more regularly. In fact, it shouldn’t stay dry. However, avoid standing water in the saucer or pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ginger grown indoors can be prone to being attacked by mealybugs<\/strong>. To avoid this, it’s a good idea to aerate your plant as often as possible, as long as it’s not cold. <\/strong>To do this, leave your pot for a few hours in the garden or on the terrace, especially in summer when it is not cold. In case of a mealybug attack, soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and run it through the foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ginger can be harvested 9-10 months after planting. If you notice that the green parts of the plant are starting to dry out, you can dig up the rhizomes for consumption. <\/strong>For ginger with a lemonier flavor, remember to harvest it 6 months <\/strong>after planting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also fragment the harvested rhizomes to plant them for a new harvest. However, make sure that each rhizome fragment contains at least <\/strong>one bud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, by respecting ginger’s needs and requirements, you’ll manage to grow this seasoning plant and get a generous harvest, even without having a green finger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Native to Asia, ginger is an herbaceous plant rich in vitamins and minerals.
