Growing Torch Gingers! My Favorite Curcuma Ginger

[@lorellstoneman74]

Thanks for the beautiful gingers. Always a nice break to visit your paradise. So pretty.

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Well thank you! Hope you're doing well and have had a nice week!

[@lorellstoneman74]

​@@TropicalPlantParty Yes, loving life, it's been nice all week weather wise, Sunny but not as hot, cool evenings...today a little bit of overnight (needed rain) just enough to get things wet. Clouds will probably clear off for the afternoon today. Plants and trees needed the rain....All the non gardeners dry dead lawns are greening up now. So its feeling lush again. Keep on growing...Loved your beachy planting in the pot, by the pool this year.

Central Texas, zone 8b. I've been growing these for about 5 years - 4 different colors - 1 in ground and 3 in pots. I need to move the ground plant into a pot - bad location and noon sun absolutely fries it. The potted plants go into my greenhouse for the winter, get watered during winter, and still grow and bloom profusely. I suppose I've been doing it wrong by not letting them go dormant, and I don't have time to dig up everything and store it for the winter, but they just keep coming back. I guess it's just luck! 🤷‍♀️ 😂

[@TropicalPlantParty]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I let them tell me what they want to do. Last year mine kept going indoors until late December before starting to die back.

My hubby bought me a baking sago palm this April 2023, since than, I finally got my very first brand new leaves, and now I got my very first sago pup is coming in right now.

[@TropicalPlantParty]

So exciting to get a new plant and have it grow!

[@JR-qx5ev]

Just bought these at walmart for $7 in Northern AL. They are beautiful!

"Easy to grow", If I had a surviving plant for every time I've heard that, I'd have a lot more plants.😆

These gingers really don't get the attention they deserve! They are such an easy showy tropical plant that will stop you in your tracks to admire them! I call them the "hostas for the south" because they do so much better in our warm humid climates than most hosta varieties do during the heat of summer! Love them! :)

[@TropicalPlantParty]

They really are hostas for the south! That's always my first thought when I see when I see a big clump of them. Their flowers are way better than hostas too!

[@naeemahsteward7432]

I have this plant first time this year so beautiful

[@lorithompson9166]

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks

Hi Jeff 👋 YAY a Ginger video!! Those are BEAUTIFUL 😍 I am the cray cray woman down in zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast that has the Shampoo Ginger plants. I ordered 7 rhizomes mid spring and put them all in a 1/2 whiskey barrel type pot. I have been too chicken to put in the ground (not knowing the best time or place at our new home) Now it's fall, (still hot as heck. But, the nights are cooling off into the 70's. I guess it is too late to plant any? (?) I thought about putting a couple out in garden, then saving the rest for spring time. They are about 18 + inches and pretty crowded in that single pot. What to do? 🤪😂 I do have some Red Ginger (unsure of type, generic, from a friend.) Never bloomed this year, in ground but put on tons of growth. Newly planted spring here. I am always so chicken to do things because I don't want to fail and lose any. I need your advice and encouragement please. As always, take great care of yourself. Thank you for another wonderful video. 😊

[@TropicalPlantParty]

😄 I know how you feel! Generally a good idea to put experimental plants in the ground well before frost. I like a 12 week window to allow the plants time to settle in and put out some new roots. Likely wouldn't hurt to divide them up and try some in the ground and have the back up to place in the spring.

[@jennifergreene8891]

@@TropicalPlantParty thank you so much Jeff! You are awesome!!!

[@woowooone]

I just love those gingers!

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Me too!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Jeff, be safe , stay healthy and we’ll see you next time. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Thanks Judy! Hope you had a nice week!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Beautiful plant! 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@TropicalPlantParty]

So colorful!

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

They are like $20 at Lowe's here, typically in bloom. I'm waiting on some Cordyline "logs" to come in from Hawaii. Don't know what I'm going to do with them just yet, will have to wait to see if I actually like them first. Also, Colocasia Light Pillar is a weed. It just keeps throwing out runners which makes me question why it is so expensive.

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Wish they'd sell them up here! I love the bright orange ones I see at the lowes down there! Oh you know how that goes. Trend marketing and pricing on plants grow in abundance.

[@deec7098]

Beautiful plants! Love your videos.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Jeff! The flowers on that ginger are beautiful! I'm in zone 7a, but would be growing them in pots, and I have no place to store them in the Winter, otherwise I'd love to try them. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dianadowhaniuk8173]

I am in love with these now, thank you for sharing them. I'm in zone 8b and wish you saved the seeds so I could beg you for a couple. If there is any chance you could share since the name is so this but that... please let me know and I promise I'd plant it out front for all to enjoy and children at the school could see it too. Please 🥹

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Thank you! Oh those are long gone by now. I filmed this video several weeks before it came out. It's pretty easy to find the corms for sale online though. 😊

[@wesleyhackney]

I bought my first one this past spring in May here in Florida 8b it had no flowers on it and here we are in September and never formed flowers. Any idea why not I only had in 4 hours partial sun so I thought maybe not enough light I really want to grow more but hesitant since this one had no blooms

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Probably just needs more light. Were you in area of Florida that was unusually dry this summer? That could also be a contribution to the lack of flowers if so.

[@wesleyhackney]

@@TropicalPlantParty yes we had some dry spells so that is a possibility. I’ll give it more light next year see how it does

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks for the tips. I now know that mine are not receiving the fertilizer they need. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Takes some extra effort when we grow them in containers, but it's well worth it for those blooms! Once they're larger and more established, they don't need as much help.

[@irmamarquez1319]

Gorgeous!!!💓👍🏼😊

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Thank you!

[@judymckerrow6720]

I had to save this video. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@tinamarieussery3063]

I miss my Gingers they got left by my family

[@TropicalPlantParty]

Aww! So sorry to hear that!

[@lisamiller7143]

I wonder should they be watered a bit in winter

[@dieuxsylvain830]
