At home, Ginger feels very good. The main thing - remember that this plant during the growing season lasts about 8-10 months.

Then place the root in a plastic bag until the root will not "eyes" like a potato. After their appearance stripped rhizome into several parts, each of which must be at least one well-developed kidney. Place a good division of powdered charcoal and dry. Landed separated parts of the rhizome in a shallow but wide container filled with fertile soil with good drainage, which consists of sand and galki.Ty can create their own soil of turf ground, humus and sand in a ratio of 1: 1: 1/2.





Spine put horizontally hatched up by the kidney and its grist 2 cm of soil. Watering must be frequently and regularly, do not let the soil drying out.

First shoots should appear within 1-2 months. Under good conditions of escape can reach the height of one meter. In autumn, when the shoots will wither away, dig the rhizome, cleanse it from the ground and stored in a dry place. Part of the root can be taken for use in food or for the treatment. Another part to save and plant the next season in the same manner.





Fresh ginger rhizome is stored on the bottom shelf in the refrigerator for about a month, and dried and milled - up to 4 months.
