Most people who buy ginger in the store don’t even realize that they can grow it themselves in their garden or on their windowsill.
Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at how you can get an excellent harvest from store-bought ginger root.
Why Grow Ginger at Home
There are several reasons why it is worth trying to grow it at home:
1. Growing ginger at home provides access to fresh and aromatic root at any time of year, without the need to visit the store.
2. The growing process is quite simple and anyone can repeat it.
3. Watching a beautiful plant with a juicy root grow from a small root brings joy and satisfaction.
The most interesting thing is that there are several contradictions regarding growing ginger from the root, but in reality there is nothing complicated, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Steps to Growing
First of all, you need to choose a large and fresh ginger root from the store. It should have several "eyes" - small green tubercles.
Next, you need to place the ginger root in a glass of water and leave it for a few days until green shoots begin to appear. Important: if after a few days the green shoots still haven't appeared, then the root is not suitable.
How to perform landing
After germination, the root must be transplanted into a pot with fertile soil, covering the root eyes with soil and providing sufficient moisture.
It is worth remembering that the soil should be moist, but excess water is unacceptable, as this can cause rotting.
After planting, the plant needs bright light. Ginger loves a humid environment, so it is recommended to spray water on the leaves.
Stagnant water should be avoided as it can have negative effects on growth.
