I've never tried sprouting ginger until this year, and it's extremely cool. I started about 2 months ago with one chunk of ginger that I cut into 3 pieces. I've now got 5 new plants that I've broken off the tubers & transplanted into their own pots. I just keep sticking the original chunks back in the soil, and they continue to send out more new shoots. It's truly fascinating watching how these plants grow & bend & unfurl new leaves. Any parents out there with young children would be wise to use plants like this as a fun way to teach their kids how things grow, and to grow their own food. Store bought potatoes, onions, garlic & celery are also easy to regrow.

Uncle, @ 7:31 if I have to wait until temperatures are 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, my growing window would only be about 10 days out of the year. I am in Northern California (soon to be a new, separate, State of Jefferson), the average temperature is 55 degrees all year around. Whenever it sprouts, it sprouts. It still works. Not well. But it does work. Ginger in the yard grows at whatever rate it feels like growing. Whenever I want some ginger, I dig it up. If it sits on the counter for too long, I throw it back in the dirt. It eventually regrows. The same method, for me, also works with potatoes. When do we get to see "part 2"?

@The Ripe Tomato Farms Jeff!! Need help as not getting expert advice and too many mixed comments (wasn't helpful) from the 'Growing Better' FB group. - Placed 3 ginger rhizomes in tray with soil (per your instructions in the older version ginger video) around 13th March, covered with dome cover but no heating mat as no electrical power point in the area I was rooting them. 14 days nothing happened, then on 16th day, 2 shoots shot up. Ordered heating mat, moved tray to area with power point and put mat under tray on 18th day (with cover). After 1 week, the shoots slumped down! Lots of condensation inside domed tray. Tray was quite warm. Felt the slumped down shoots, they were a bit mushy. Need to emphasize I did NOT water tray this whole time. 1. Why did shoots collapse? Did I kill them? Anyway, moved tray back to original location (this area has some sunlight but no power point so can't put mat under tray), removed mat, put on dome cover. One small shoot came back up today. 2. Felt out all rhizomes and they all had some root system, just no shoots except the one mentioned above. So will they all be OK? 3. Temps are 20-23degC in the house and its autumn here in sub-tropical Sydney, Australia. Will my rhizomes eventually send out more shoots and should I wait out the time before potting them up? Need extra reassurance that I'm on right track as first time growing ginger. Determined to make this work. Please please help! Thanks so much!!! 🙏🙏

I always fail at growing ginger. I usually buy ginger for cooking but they often sprouted before I can use them. I just bury those sprouted ones into a pot and water them. But a week later, the green shoots started to turn yellow and the rhizomes themselves seem to either rotted or shriveled up. Not sure what I did wrong. I'm going to try to root them first next time.

HI: I have just started planting ginger, so it has been a few days and no shoots yet. I wonder the tips, the eyes that look dead or have dark skin, if we remove the thick skin around them, would they shoot or not, I have tried this also; Another questions is that what if we shave off/the skin of the body of the ginger to make it easier for absorption of nutrients, would that make a difference, I am trying this too; Another questions is that organic ginger for some reason are smaller and shorter, would they grow to same size? and the bigger ones/non organic if we just use organic soil/coco coir, after harvest would they be "organic"? Another question what if we directly put it to the final container that is mixed of coco coir and compost? is it necessary to do it in 2 steps? thanks much

I live in the Piedmont region of northwest Georgia, USDA Zone 7b. I have something growing in a flower bed that I was told (by the person who sold it to me) was ginger. It looks just like what you've planted in this video. I've never tried to eat it. (I just like the white aromatic flowers it produces.) I cut it back to the ground in the fall after it wilts and it grows back every spring. It doesn't seem to mind if it freezes during the winter. Is it real ginger? (As in the kind you can eat?) How can I know for sure? (I guess I could try eating some ... but if it's not ginger, will it kill me?) Your thoughts?

Do you fertilize them or just depend on the compost or the fertilizer in the potting mix. Im using pro mix the red bag it dont have fertilize in it just the micro whatever for the roots you can seed start in it so it dont have any nutrients but I dont have to deal with fungus gnats and I use fish emulsion liquid fertilizer at 1/4 strength would this work b cuz im at the potting up stage ty
@TheRipeTomatoFarms3 жыл бұрын
Great question Charlie. Early in, definitely no fertilizer... After the leaves unravel, for sure you'll need to look at enriching the soil. That's why I tend to replant them up into some good potting soil. After that, they are good for another month or so. Then they'll need either fertilizing or replanting to their final spot in the garden.
