Five steps to growing ginger ➡️
If you live in a warmer climate (without frost) you can grow ginger outdoors from start to harvest. If you live in a colder climate (with frost), start ginger indoors, then move or transplant outdoors after last frost. Here are the 5 key steps to growing ginger:
1️⃣ Source seed stock ginger
🌱 seed stock ginger sprouts more reliably and more quickly than ginger root from a grocery store (aka culinary ginger)
🙌 seed stock ginger is the cream of the ginger crop & will produce better ginger
2️⃣ Keep your planted ginger warm!
🔥 heat makes all the difference to the time it will take for ginger to sprout
🌡️ keep temps above 24˚C (75˚F) and for best results: use a heat mat!
3️⃣ Harden off & transplant outdoors
🗓️ harden off for five days
🌱 transplant into fertile, well-draining soil, after last frost
4️⃣ Hill & feed
🏔️ hill soil on top of rhizomes that appear above soil
💧 water regularly & feed with compost and organic matter
5️⃣ Harvest!
🍂 harvest before frost or after leaves begin to yellow and die back
💚 for biggest ginger, wait as long as possible to harvest
Anyone can grow ginger!
