Ginger prefers indirect sunlight or partial shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Temperature:
It thrives in warm, humid conditions. Keep it in a spot where temperatures are consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Watering:
Water regularly but don’t let the soil stay soggy. Keep the soil evenly moist and mist occasionally to maintain humidity.
5. Encourage Growth
Fertilize Sparingly:
Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 4–6 weeks to provide essential nutrients.
Mulch (Optional):
If growing outdoors, a layer of mulch can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
6. Watch for Sprouts
In a few weeks, you’ll notice green shoots emerging. This indicates that the rhizome is establishing roots and leaves.
As it grows, the leaves will become tall and slender, resembling grass.
