Growing Ginger Root Is Not That Hard...

 Let's first look at some pictures of ginger plants and the roots: learn and enjoy reading and viewing my blog.

Foliage of ginger plants. A ginger rhizome with roots. The picture on the left shows the foliage of ginger plants. On the right you see a rhizome.
To talk about ginger root when talking about the edible part of the ginger plant is actually incorrect. You eat the rhizomes, and as you can see, rhizomes have roots... Two different things...
But I'll keep talking about ginger root anyway, that's what everybody does and you know what I mean.

What ginger plants like and dislike:

Ginger loves a sheltered spot, filtered sunlight, warm weather, humidity, and rich, moist soil. (What else did you expect from a tropical plant?)
What ginger can't stand is frost, direct sun, strong winds, and soggy, waterlogged soil.

next time i will post how to plant ginger root.
