How To Extract The Shampoo From Pinecone Shampoo Ginger

[@jtobi01]

Hello! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Have you ever tried canning the liquid to make it shelf-stable?

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

Just add about a tablespoon of coconut 🌴 oil to your shampoo, mix well and store refrigerated in a sealed container between uses, good for 90 days.

[@mariarussell2512]

Let it turn red! You have beautiful Awapuhi plants

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

Thanks Maria and have a lovely day my friend

It also works great as a bug repellent! When I am working in the yard I will go squeeze a shampoo ginger cone and rub it on my legs and arms. The mosquitoes and bugs leave me alone. 😊

@@justme-cx2uj I think the roots/rhyzome of this one is a little to stong and contains saponins that make cooking with it not the best idea. I think it is used in medicines & Paul Mitchell dries & grounds it to use in one of his shampoos.

I found 2 Pinecone Gingers growing in the side yard of the house I bought in Pensacola 3 years ago. Being from the Detroit area originally I had no idea what I stumbled across and thought the pinecone part was so amazing. Once I figured out what I had I started propagating it. 3 years later I've got around 40 ripening up in the yard now. Think I'll make my own shampoo now youtube. Great video!! thumbs up.

I really love listening to this guy talk, KZbin. I want some of these plants but I’m in MD and the winters are harsh and since it’s tropical plant I’m sure it would die off easily😞

[@kaylalockwood4175]

I have a few of these in my yard, and even in the mild Florida winters they die off completely and come back even bigger in the spring through late summer. You could probably grow them in a pot or large planter that you could cover the dirt after they die off just to keep them from freezing over.

[@loullaoin418]

I always wait until mine turn red before harvesting the shampoo that way the flowers are done growing for the season.

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

Shampoo is less potent once the cones turn red towards the end of the grow season. Learned this during my second year growing this plant here in my gardens. This is our 5th year growing it here in Tifton, GA and there are several varieties of this plant that also produce the shampoo but have different fragrances and levels of potency. Thanks for watching Loulla.

[@christinaanderson3914]

Awapuhi/ Hawaiian Ginger/ Pinecone Shampoo Ginger is a wonderful plant. It grows great in subtopic temperatures. It's useful for so many things! You can use it as a Shampoo, leave in conditioner, works great as body wash, replaces shaving cream and lotion. You will save so much in the bathroom! You don't need to cut them to harvest the liquid. Gently squeeze. All natural and very sustainable.

Hi Vicky! Words can’t explain how truly fragrant the shampoo from this plant is! It can also be added to existing shampoos or conditioners although I prefer to use it in it’s natural and untouched form. It rinses away from both your hair and skin without leaving any sticky residue like a lot of manufactured soaps and shampoos do. Plus at the end of your grow season you get to harvest the rhizomes too!

[@loullaoin418]

Also you can add the shampoo to homemade lotions as a moisturizer.

Hey thanks for uploading the pinecone ginger videos. We have had them growing naturally in our yard for years, and have always been interested in them. We have a lot more now that they have spread over the years. What price do you normally ask for whichever amount of filtered product? And have you had some success in doing so?

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

Hey Cody thanks for watching the videos, I have sold a bit in the past when I was growing it on larger scale, and actually shipping far more products prior to Covid and the now doubled shipping costs. But as the shampoo has a short shelf life unless mixed with a bit of coconut oil, these days I typically just give it away to family and friends within a day or two after harvesting and immediately sealing and refrigerating it.

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

You can actually harvest the shampoo at any point once the flowers on the cones have blossomed regardless to the color of your cones. I recommend leaving your cones attached to your plants and being gentle when you squeeze the cones to release the shampoo, this will allow several harvests from the same cone as they will refill in about a week if not damaged during the harvest.

Hi Halie and thanks for watching this video, yes this extract is great for both skin and hair my friend. I’m only growing a small amount this year as I grew so much last year and still have ginger in hand from that harvest, you guys are lucky to have found this growing on your property, I would definitely harvest the rhizomes once the foliage begins to yellow or die back and store them then replant them in my garden in the spring if I were in your position, as you know, ginger has many uses and health benefits and can be quite expensive at your local grocery store or market.

[@TheGreenThumbGardeningChannel]

Hey Dave! Sorry I got them to you so late in the season brother, if they are potted and you have the room you can bring them inside and place near a sunny window or door and they may grow a bit slower but should not go dormant and you can just plant them outside in the spring. If however they are in the ground I’d recommend just mulching them in heavily for the fall and winter and then removing the mulch about a week or so before your last frost. The canes will begin to emerge once the soil temperature reaches 65-70°

Greetings Queen and thanks for watching this video.

However, if you are interested, I will gladly send you a rhizome later this fall with instructions on how to properly store it and sprout it prior to planting on your garden. Once sprouted it grows rapidly and the rhizomes multiply swiftly beneath the soil. Typically you won’t get blossoms on your shampoo ginger the first year but the following year should yield several blossoms and 6-8 pounds of rhizomes at harvest time.
