If you’re still buying ginger from the supermarket, it’s time to stop. You do know that you could grow your very own at home, don’t you? They’re low maintenance; growing them won’t take much effort. The best part is, that you can easily grow them indoors so that you have a fresh supply all year round.
You can grow from a living root. If you have a friend with a plant, you can ask for root cutting. Soak them up in warm water and leave them overnight. This will prepare the root for the next day’s planting. Also, make sure that you choose a wide plant pot because roots tend to grow horizontally.
These plants usually take time to grow. In about two to three weeks, you’ll start seeing some shoots. A few months later, you may be able to harvest some small – and this will be very satisfying if you’d want to repeat the process over again.
