Stop Buying Ginger… Start GROWING Your Own!

Before planting, soak your cured ginger pieces in room-temperature water for 24 hours. This will help remove any inhibitors and tell the ginger it’s time to wake up and start sprouting!

Choose the Right Pot: Ginger spreads sideways, not downward. Use a wide, shallow pot with drainage holes. A larger container gives the ginger plenty of space to grow.
Prepare the Soil: Use nutrient-rich potting soil mixed with compost. Ginger loves fertile soil but requires good drainage — no swampy situations allowed!
Planting Depth: Bury each piece of ginger 1–2 inches deep with the buds pointing upward. If you’re unsure which side is up, simply lay it flat—ginger is clever enough to orient itself.
Ideal Location: Ginger loves warmth and humidity with bright, indirect light. A warm spot near a window (but away from direct sunlight) is perfect.
