PLANT ME
In a pot or in the ground. In a rich, well draining soil.
KEEP ME IN
Somewhere with a good amount of natural light.
PUT ME OUT
In a warm, sheltered spot.
WATER ME
Daily during warm months when I have leaves and flowers. Not at all when I’m dormant and have lost my leaves. (Natural winter rainfall is fine).
FEED ME
A good, balanced slow release or organic fertilizer.
I LIKE
To be left to shed my leaves at the end of the season. Please don’t pull them off as you may damage my rhizome (root / bulb). Some mulch to help me regulate my temperature and water.
MY FLOWERS
Appear from December to May and make great cut flowers.
NOTES
My rhizome can be harvested and stored somewhere warm, dark and dry for future propagation. Keep me planted in the ground and i will keep multiplying. I’m the edible part of the Ginger family.
