Here's how to grow ginger at home for non-stop availability
1. Choose Rhizomes:
Select organic rhizomes with multiple growth points.
2. Prepare Pots:
Use large, deep pots with drainage.
Add clay pebbles at the bottom.
Fill with potting soil mixed with river sand.
Plant rhizomes flat, leaving some exposed.
3. Provide Optimal Conditions:
Place pots in a warm, sunny room with indirect sunlight.
Maintain consistent humidity.
Water moderately until roots establish.
4. Prevent Pests:
Air plants outdoors periodically to deter mealybugs.
Use alcohol-soaked cotton to control infestations if needed.
5. Harvest:
Harvest mature ginger after 9-10 months, or for a lemony flavor, after 6 months.
Look for drying green parts as a sign of readiness.
Divide harvested rhizomes for continuous growth.
