 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.
