Growing Indoor Ginger, Sprouted From Store Bought! - 2020

Sprout Your Own Ginger From Any Store-Bought Ginger Root! Ginger is so easy to sprout, given the right conditions. The rhizomes of this plant are not only tasty and necessary in numerous recipes, but they can also be sprouted to grow entirely new Ginger plants, for free! In this video, I show you exactly how to grow your own Ginger plants simply from store bought Ginger bulbs.
This is a great project for growing indoors and for teaching kids how things grow, as well as the vegetative life cycles of root and shoot development. One of the best indoor projects that you gardeners can do as we wait for our garden beds and plots to thaw outside.
As a fully tropical plant, Ginger needs supplemental heat if you live in temperate regions or if your indoor temperatures are below 80F. Sprouting usually takes place within a week with viable bulbs, although the progress of growth at this stage can vary quite a bit. Give it a try, starting, sprouting, and growing Ginger indoors is highly rewarding, and most of all, super fun!

Perhaps that actually reflects that the advice/content is great but the peculiar speech distracts to the point where you keep wondering why he speaks like that more than pay attention. At the end of the day, it’s the loss of those who cannot disregard that because it really is a good video.

I just want to say you solved my problems in 9 minutes and 28 seconds. I love ginger. I eat the stuff raw. I wasn't getting anywhere this last few weeks. The insights of temperature and lighter soil were the missing elements. I got all the stuff to duplicate your set up. By the way, don't let anyone get you down about your verbal pacing or diction.

@@kathybrinson7476 good on you guys! 3 raised beds is a pretty good effort. They can be expensive to fill too.. I was shoving everything organic in the bottom of ours. A tree lopper dropped out a load of mulch, so i half filled the bottom of the bed. I bought a bit of mushroom compost as well. so many worms now... Yes, would really love to hear how your ginger goes. This is the first time I've managed to get the ginger root stock to sprout. I pulled them up in April and even though they look like they where on a bit of a diet, they taste pretty good. It's nearly that time to try again. We're in our last month of winter here. Down south as well but in Australia. Have You Ever Seen 'the weedy gardener, episode 1?' He's great and some of its episodes show how to make some lactobacillus for your garden.

Just got my ginger order. I pickle and dry mine and I want to try growing my own this year. Didn't know to soak it but fingers crossed I will be able to grow enough for my ginger habit.😂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Best of luck Barbara! Heat and moisture are the keys to sprouting!

[@Rizma44]

Love it! Thank you so much! I'm starting my store bought ginger today!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

So awesome! Let us know how it goes/grows for you!!

[@jakejohnson9305]

I nailed my first attempt (total accident). 2nd attempt, the ginger decomposed in the soil (also accident). I went in just winging it both times. This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on Jake! Hopefully a third time works too!

Thank you so much for this video I've always wanted to know how to grow ginger, God bless you and your family love from Wendy Drummond from Adelaide South Australia

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on Wendy, thanks for the support! South Aussie you could probably grow Ginger outdoors year round I would think. As long as soil temps stay above 15C, you should be golden!

[@almaztsegaye8791]

Winter doesn't mean gardening stops....in fact, you can kick it into high gear, much like the Ginger in this video! This winter, we've been adding to an entire series dedicated to indoor gardening. Check out the playlist if you'd be so kind. :-) kzbin.info/aero/PLiie7K8ZgA_JcXVxQO5y99HQvCFhz3GdC

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@Alina McPherson you definitely can! That's a great set up. You can grow all kinds with that. And then in other spaces, pick plants that don't need crazy light requirements like microgreens and sprouts to round out your selection! Happy growing!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@Alina McPherson definitely! All winter long! They are like 10 day crops max! Sprouts even less! You could always be growing and harvesting no problem! So awesome!

I've had Ginger on the counter for a month or longer, probably a bit longer. I have noticed that it has started to sprout. I need to try and grow this!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@craig9843 totally Craig. Now add moisture and I bit more heat and the Ginger then sends out roots as well!

[@julianchai3440]

Hi, what’s your setup to maintain 80 degree temperature?

[@MaiseyloveLifestyle]

Can put everyday a water in pot for planting the ginger

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

​@@julianchai3440 Hey Julian. To start them off to sprout and root, I have them inside under lights and on a heat mat. Then they don't go outside until well into spring. Cheers!

[@AmberAntGad]

I enjoy how you lilt your delivery voice.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Its not too late to get this Ginger going indoors. It sprouts quite quickly, and for a few pennies, you could get these guys EASILY larger than the starter plants you'd find at the nurseries or garden centers this spring. Heat, water, and a suitable medium and you'll be swimming in Ginger sprouts in quick order!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@SavedbyGraceCT Ginger can really be harvest at any time...however for maximum yield, ideally they'd be left until the end of summer and dug up, much like potatoes are. Cheers, happy growing!

[@SandcastleDreams]

You mentioned something about selling at a farmer's market? When you get the plant started, approx. how long does it take to get enough root rhizome to actually get some major divisions from it? Have you grown it long enough to find out?

[@bbikermama]

@@SavedbyGraceCT he mentioned temperature is key. Grow that sucker indoors to monitor the temperature. I’m going to put mine on a small incandescent light to Monitor the temperature

[@carolewebster6433]

@@bbikermama It looks like he is putting the tray on some kind of heating mat?

[@TheCriticalVirgo]

Thank you for putting this video together! I had a few ginger bulbs laying around (bought in bulk) and didn’t want them to go to waste.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Best of luck! Once they get going and are sprouted it's quite an attractive plant too!

[@marianna3253]

Thank you for sharing all the great tips :) A couple of weeks ago I found some forgotten ginger in the cupboard that had started sprouting a tiny bit. I started googling if it's possible to plant it and well came across this video! Now, it's been about 2 weeks and it seems to grow nicely and I was able to see some roots appearing as well. I was struggling to find a place that's warm and light enough so I've placed the pot near the window that has a radiator beneath it so I think it's warm enough for the lil ginger. Now I just have to hope I manage to keep it alive and growing :D

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

The Little Ginger That Could Mari! Ha ha. Fingers crossed it does well. If it sprouted and has roots, I would say the conditions are pretty good!

[@barbaraacosta7365]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I will do. I need to get a better ginger root I reckon. With a big crop that would be essential. Definitely one thing I want to grow - great flavour (UK spelling) and really good for you.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@thewannabegardener9660 For sure. I think if you can sprout it early and give it a huge head start, even the tiniest tuber will give you a big bounty by the end of summer!
