🔹 Choosing the Right Pot (For Indoor Growing)
- Use a wide, shallow pot because ginger grows horizontally.
- Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🔹 Soil Requirements
- Use loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
- A mix of potting soil with compost or coconut coir works well.
Step 3: Planting the Ginger
1️⃣ Cut the Ginger (Optional)
- If your rhizome is large, cut it into 2–3-inch pieces, ensuring each piece has at least one eye (sprouting bud).
- Let the cut pieces dry for 1–2 days before planting to prevent rotting.
2️⃣ Plant the Ginger
- Place the ginger root horizontally in the soil with the eyes facing upward.
- Cover lightly with 1–2 inches of soil.
- Water lightly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
3️⃣ Find the Right Location
- Indoors: Place the pot in a warm, indirect light spot (near a sunny window).
- Outdoors: Plant in a partially shaded area to protect ginger from harsh sunlight.
