Quick To The Point – How to Grow Ginger in Containers And Transplanting For Huge Harvest in 5 Simple Steps

Learn how to grow ginger from store bough ginger at home in containers.

After growing ginger indoors you can transplant your ginger plants outdoors in your garden for huge harvest.

Step 1 Secure Ginger – Purchase a large piece of ginger from the store. I use organic ginger. The shoots will come out of the tops right at the eyes. You may cut them into pieces or plant one large rhizome. I like to use smart pots because they allow air into the root system.

Step 2. Pot – I’m using a two gallon pot knowing that I’m going to be transplanting this later in the season.

If you’re going to be growing this fully indoors you may want to use a larger pot for the soil.

For soil you want to make sure you use something that has a lot of nutrients and is packed with compost.

Moisten the soil and then transfer it to your growing container.

Plant your ginger rhizomes by pushing them into the soil with the eyes up push them slightly below the surface and cover them up

Step 3. Place in Warm Water – Place the pot in the warm area. I have a heating mat and I set it at 80 degrees. I found this worked very well to get the ginger to propagate. If you don’t have a heat mat you can just put it in a warm area of your house.

Step 4. Continue to Keep Moist – Once the ginger sprouts, give it light and continue to add moisture after 3 to 4 weeks. You’ll start to see sprouts, make sure you keep the soil moist. I planted in January, it’s now May and ready to be planted outside now that the risk of last frost is gone

Step 5. Transplanting – I’ll slowly massage the pot to loosen the soil. Once I get the root ball out I’ll slowly separate each stem be careful while prying them apart pry them slowly trying to keep each ball intact with each stem. I’ll then transplant each stem about 6 inches below the surface. Once transplanted I will water thoroughly. This ginger should be ready to harvest before my first frost which will probably be around the October time frame
