Out of one organic ginger rhizome, you can harvest many new ones and the growing process is easy!

Step by step explanations :
🌱 Buy an organic ginger at your local market. Organic is important to make sure it is not treated with anti-growth/sprout products. Your Ginger will need to sprout.
🌱 Keep your ginger rhizome indoor in a small plate with water. Spray water every day to keep it humid.
🌱 After a few weeks, it will develop sprouting eyes. Stems will develop and grow from these eyes.
🌱 Plant your rhizome in a pot of 4L / 1 Gallon, water regularly & keep indoor at warmth. Green stems will develop in a few weeks.
🌱 After your last spring frost date, plant out outdoor in a bigger pot of minimum 20L/ 5 Gallon. You can add some mulch. Place in half sun half shade location. Water regularly.
🌱 Without any big maintenance, after 9/10 months, your ginger will be ready for harvest. The taste of homegrown ginger has truly no comparison. Fresh & tasty!

Indeed Ginger has also many health benefits. I love to have a shot of ginger/turmeric in the morning! It’s great for the immune system!
