Ginger ginger at domestic conditions
It is a tropical plant that needs enough heat, ideally at least room temperature and temperature higher up to thirty degrees. Even if you have seen a successful ginger growing in the post, you can support the whole process of several tricks.
You may have noticed that the plant does not coat too deep, so you can also use a shallower growing container, which must have good drainage. The substrate is preferable to lighter, designed for houseplants.
Common ginger bought in the shop is also suitable for the glow. Even relatively small pieces can germinate and on their surface are also evident unobtrusive eyes, which have a slightly different color and also a smoother surface than the rest of the tuber. Explore the root before you divide it.
A little ginger can be planted straight away, but it is recommended to soak the tuber before the day in the water temperature. The tuber absorbs water and will be better supplied for subsequent growth. If you divide the tuber into smaller pieces, allow the cut to dry first, usually it is enough to dry a day.
Germination is also possible in water, but slight steaming of the plant in the soil is ideal for us in flats easily achievable even during the winter months.
Prepare a growing container, pour the substrate into it, just slightly absorb and leave the whole container for an hour near the radiator. Warm soil and total higher temperatures are important for germination and can greatly help successful growing. Then place the tubers in the spacing on the surface of the substrate and sprinkle with the substrate so that they are not visible. Slightly from the top of the substrate and pour the plant.
For germination, it is ideal to cover the container with a plastic hatch or temporarily insert a container into a plastic bag. A microclimate is created that will not only hold not only moisture but also heat, the ginger of ginger will appreciate.
How to grow ginger?
In a few weeks, sprouts or even the first leaves will begin to show on the set tubers. At this point, you can decide to replant the plant. It will be relatively high and the sprouted tuber will increase several times during the year. When transplanting, beware of sprouts and roots. In any case, the sprouts must be directed in the right direction or up.
The plant should be watered abundantly, but always leaving the excess water to drain and allow the substrate to dry partially. Keep in with the ginger like any other plant. Ginger likes indirect light and temperatures above at least 10 ° C, but ideally between 20 and 30 ° C. You can start fertilizing it during spring. Also monitor the occurrence of pests.
Relieve the watering at the end of the season. If you lose the leaves, it doesn’t matter at all. It is better to dry the leaves than the rotation of the root. If the plant dries, you can decide to harvest the tuber and start from the beginning if you like the cultivation.
