Does anyone know how to grow Ginger.?
Sounds to me like you’re doing everything right! Ginger can be started from a healthy root, similar to the way potatoes can be grown. If you see it start to flower, increase the nitrogen and decrease the potassium (the first and middle numbers of your fertilizer, respectively). If you have flower stems, simply remove them to keep all the plant’s energy going to the root. If you can add a high-phoshorus fertilizer (one with a large third number) that will aid in root development. With most plants, simply keeping the soil moist (but not wet) is a good rule of thumb; give the plant a moderate amount of light, a northern window in the northern hemisphere, a southern window in the southern hemisphere, or use fluorescent lights – just don’t give it direct sunlight, and enjoy the great fragrance and taste when you harvest!
