How to grow ginger
Ginger is a very useful plant. If in ancient times it was used as a medicine, now it's more like spice. Still, people have already begun to feel the benefits of ginger, because it's hard not to notice. Became interesting: how to grow ginger at home?
On the useful qualities of ginger you can talk for a long time. Let's start with the fact that during the cold he is able to treat no worse than raspberries. It is enough just to rub its root in the tea and insist for a while. To prevent women's diseases, tinctures from ginger are also actively used.
Grow ginger at home maybe. Of course, planting a dacha site will be difficult, because our plant can not accept our conditions, but on a small plot in a greenhouse or in a pot everything is possible.
The first thing to do is buy ginger root. The plant propagates it in a vegetative way, so it's very good if the root already has an outgrowth. If not - put it in a warm place and wait a few days.
If the process emerged - Cut the spine into small pieces, which will contain the kidney.
Now it's worth to choose a convenient pot. It does not have to be huge. Make sure that the earth is loose and light. Bad land ginger will not accept. This plant is not so much capricious as it is clearly aware of what it needs, but it needs a very pleasant soil for growth and development. Do not put ginger too deep. It takes a little time to give the first sprouts, so do not overload it.
Ginger likes warmth, but do not put it in a place where it fallsdirect sunlight. Ginger is not a cactus. Consider that in this plant there is a generation of medicinal substances that evaporate easily under the action of the sun, exactly as they are washed out due to strong moisture and dampness, so do not carefully water the ginger.
For that sprouts appear, it is necessary to wait only 1-2 months. This is relatively small, given that ginger - the plant is exotic. After 6-8 months you can safely harvest. Some begin the so-called "harvesting" after 5 months.
Ginger at home grows differently than in their usual conditions. This is the reason that outwardly ginger will be very similar to reed. Its long, weak leaves pointing upwards will create the feeling that you have a decorative bow growing on the window. The leaves are not affected by the quality of the root itself. Some even add them to the salad, which is not recommended. Of course, the leaves of ginger are no less useful than the root itself, but it is worth considering the structure of this plant: when pruning leaves there is a chance of partial drying of the root.
As you can see, if you have a question, how to grow ginger, boldly grow. There are no problems with such cultivation. It is necessary only to closely monitor the development of the plant, providing it with the necessary conditions. But you will have another home doctor, which you can use at any time.
