Growing Ginger

View the Ginger page

15 Feb 16 The Sunlander (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I live in Brisbane and have grown gingers, both edible and non-edible types, for many years. They are very hardy plants and succeed very well when left alone. I see on various gardening web sites conflicting information re the cultivation - one site for instance says to plant in shade, never in full sun. My edible ginger grows happily in full sun!! I water mine because the soil dries out but a friend has his in pots and they grow just as well. So, give it a go. Buy good looking ginger in the supermarket, break the rhizome into several parts each with at least one bud on.
