Hello there, Captainiritu here from Epic Gardening where it is my goal to help you grow a greener thumb.

Now ginger is a fantastic plant. It is a delicious flavor I find it to be quite enjoyable to have and

there are all sorts of interesting qualities that make it a pick to grow in the garden. Now it is something that's really not too hard to grow.

So let's discuss how to grow it including how to grow it indoors. What you want to do

is you want to get the ginger rhizome. It's not a root. It's actually a rhizome to sprout.

If you're growing from a store-bought ginger, that means that it may be a good idea to go with a certified

organic one because it's unlikely to be sprayed with some kind of sprout

inhibitor very similar to buying a seed potato versus trying to grow a

potato from a grocery you want to buy one that

is guaranteed to not be sprayed with a sprout inhibitor because of course we're trying to sprout

it.

So we're doing the opposite of what the average grocery shopper wants, right?

So one way to get the rhizomes to sprout effectively is use a shallow wide pot,

something that is not too deep, and give those pieces some room.

So give them a nice rich potting soil, put the eyes up, and barely cover the rhizomes.

You could even be able to see some of them peeking out

from underneath the soil.

And then what you want to do is take that pot,

put it in a warm location in filtered sun,

maybe on a window sill,

and water it just enough to keep the soil moist but not soggy.

Because remember, before they've sprouted
