Great video. I use only an organic ginger as the others are sprayed with growth chemicals (Chinese) ... Natural ginger has never huge parts.

[@Katya-zj7ni]

Could this work for galangal I wonder? Going to try and let you know .

[@Footprintsinthegarden]

@@Katya-zj7ni yes please! Let us know! 😃

[@alexiscolby9415]

I can confirm this method works 100% I tried it Nov 2020 and used x2 small ginger nubs that each had a small sprout. I put a 1/4 old leftover onion from my fridge and placed the x2 sprouted nubs in a ziploc baggy. To my surprise only few days later both nubs had grown many small roots. They are in soil pot now about 6cm with few leaves already!! Thank you!! 🙏

[@Footprintsinthegarden]

Hi Alexis, oh I'm so happy to hear that!! Awesome!! 😃

[@ashaqhussainwani7050]

What about the specific temperature for ginger 😜

[@errolcollins7647]

Does it require a hot climate to grow ginger?

[@1980Baldeagle]

@@errolcollins7647 ginger and turmeric, you can grow in zone 8. It grows all year and the top dies in the winter with our frosts. It grows back ever year and the rhizomes keep spreading and getting bigger.

That is so neat! Thanks for sharing and confirming! I just bought my ginger root tonight for the purpose of growing. Feeling confident that I’ve found the right video to do so 🥰

[@hellojello8376]

Wow ok never knew this. So would it be a good idea when I’m planting my garden in the spring, to put some chopped onions 🧅 on top of my soil(after having plants my seeds)?

[@uprightfossil6673]

Ditto.

[@uprightfossil6673]

Yea this random tip at the end was a mind blower lol

[@teddekker3383]

WOW !! Thank you very much. 🙂 We never knew that onions promote root growth in things like Ginger, and Carrot, Potato ETC !! We used to have our oinions in a bag near the bag of potatoes ha hah now we know why the potatoes sprouted so often 🙂 We learn something everyday !! and at 64 I'm still learning. Thank you again Ted

[@Footprintsinthegarden]

You're most welcome! Save the potatoes haha! 😄

[@kristenkoyi]

Agreed. This is the best ginger rooting video I've seen so far! I can still use/eat my ginger!

[@bbwitching]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been watching several videos about planting store bought ginger before I try to grow mine but you had so much MORE valuable information NOT mentioned in any other KZbin videos! And as incredible as it sounds, at 56 years old I have never heard anyone promote using onion to encourage root growth! Ever more surprising, I had never heard that you should not store onion with other root vegetables! If you were standing in my kitchen right now you would see a wire basket holding my onions, garlic, potatoes and ginger!! Some of which have roots growing by the time I am ready to use it. Now I understand why. Can you share a video sharing how you learned your knowledge of growing foods? I know that a lot of this rich knowledge is passed through generations but a lot of American families rarely get exposed to multigenerational teaching, learning and understanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@Footprintsinthegarden]

Woww, that's a huge compliment, thank you! I think my knowledge on food is mostly influence by the farmers community where I grew up at and my parent who grow most of the foods that we eat. Maybe one day when it's safe to travel back home I can make a video on where it all begin 😄

good video, what a little secret about the onion slices. I did not understand the concept of not storing potatoes and onions together, causing root growth. thank you for helping us serious, but new gardeners. I want to grow healing ginger at home.

[@georgiawild4332]

This was the shortest, sweetest, and most informative video I've seen on growing ginger. Thank you so much!

[@MeC-um1zo]

I didn’t do anything with mine other than place in in a shallow pot. I was leaving for the summer and I had about an inch of ginger that I didn’t use so I put it in a pot, left for the summer and by the time I came back the pot was filled with root. I actually forgot I planted it so it was a nice surprise when I got back.

[@TMX369]

Tried this a few days ago and most of them rooted amazingly!! Thank you so much for sharing your tips!

[@Infiniti25]

Definitely trying this, I’ve put my ginger in a cool dark place to encourage the eyes to sprout now. Previously I’ve seen videos saying to cut the ginger and place it in a bowl of water half covering the ginger...I ended up with rot and no roots. This looks promising because there is no submerging in water, just damp air environment in the tub. It tracks with other videos promoting air layering and rooting roses and dogwood plants using darkened tub with moist soil.

[@Infiniti25]

Follow up, I have nubs on a large piece of store bought ginger. Step two is to rewatch this video and continue the process

[@darlenebradley6756]

I am going to do this! I have a tuber I bought about 2 weeks ago that is sprouting! What a great way to skip the grocery store!

[@orowizard1369]

Nice job. Going to buy turmeric and ginger root this weekend to try. You gave me idea to sprout potatoes by putting in onion slices in brown paper bag, today. Subbed and liked video. Thanks

Oh my goodness!!!!! I am thanking the Lord for you!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I saw someone soak the ginger first, but it didn't seem like or look like a good idea! I'm thinking this would also work with Turmeric. I do wonder if putting all things in with onion will help them root faster????? Thank you so much for doing this video. I just put my ginger in a paper bag in a cool dark cabinet!!!

Like onion, garlic works too. Also, both onion and/or garlic infusions do wonders for my orchids too.

[@lindawoody8501]

I grew supermarket ginger outside in large pots in Florida, USA where it was Sunny, hot humid and it rained a lot. I did not harvest the ginger as we moved away before it was fully grown. There were a couple of large plants. I just broke the fingers into separate pieces and planted the ginger in potting mix.

[@richardthorpe8889]

What a great video. Obviously you have more understanding of this plant than most of the other creators. Thank you for sharing.

[@main2333]

This is better than wasting whole ginger as I’ve seen with other videos. Soaking whole ginger for it to root. True about onions. Your the first I’ve seen that actually added onions

[@atejaney8322]

My experience using this method is quite frustrating. I learned from my own planting that we should not cut ginger into small pieces just like what is done in this video. For it takes a long time for the ginger to grow though they sprout. Instead have a one whole, big, firm ginger with many nodes and you can find them in grocery stores. You can plant it in the soil directly and this kind and method is the one that grows fast.

[@annnd16]

I used this method because my ginger was “ sprouting” sitting on the counter. I then looked to YT and learned using whole ginger produces best results. It’ll be interesting to watch the growth of both methods.

[@trishreid9832]

I tried this and the plant sprouted but died .. I will try both methods and hope for one to work 👍❤️✌️

Hey I’m wondering whats the explanation for onion cause root grow faster?

[@Footprintsinthegarden]

@@krismaturker6709 it is believe that onion / shallot has a high concentration of auxin & gibberellin hormone which responsible for root growth, although there is no scientific prove to it (yet) it has traditionally been use in promoting root growth for rhizome, cutting, air layering technique etc..because the concentration is too high that is why it is not encourage to store potato (especially) because it will make it sprout so fast if you keep them together.
