Feeling spicy? Rooting for some flavor in your life? Ginger has a secret which Ben will reveal in this video. Many people don't realise that ginger can be grown from shop-bought roots (or 'rhizomes') and that when you know how, they can be planted once and harvested forever!
A very simple trick to save you money and spice up your life.
Ben also heads up to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to chat with horticulturist Simon Allan, who tends the garden's Living Collection of Gingers. Simon offers some of his own expert tips and shows us a small selection of the literally hundreds of different types out there - prepare to be wowed!
If you're a fan of growing flavorsome foods, then check out our video on growing garlic, the perfect complement to ginger. And now, in autumn, is the best time to grow it!

About a month ago I found a shrivelled up ginger rhizome that I pulled up about a year ago and didn't use all of, but I thought I'd try growing it again. Didn't even soak it, just put it in some nice compost and put it indoors next to a sunny window. It's already about a metre tall with four stems. So the moral of the story is, even if you don't do everything right, the chances are it may still grow nicely.

I did this with a little piece, too. It grew fantastic, the greens came out quickley I had a nice plant. But something must have gone wrong. Maybe not enough water, but the plant didn't show it. When it came to autumn, I had to move, so I decided to harvest my Ginger for having less wheight to take with me. I found the original piece of ginger, fresh and tasty, but it had grown not a Millimeter. So I found a way for Ginger Storage. Better than nothing ;-)

@raycane4912 7 ай бұрын

Depending on where you are, I'd suggest that when the emp gets under 55 degrees F stop watering it - it'll go dormant. You'll lose all the shoots but it'll sprout again when the weather warms. I've heard if you're not in the Pacific/South Pacific or tropical zones it probably won't flower. BTW - I brought it indoors during the winter because we do get a hard freeze. It started to grow again at the beginning of spring, still indoors, but no watering. When the temperature was safely back above 55 degrees I moved it back outside. Looks like I'll be bringing it back indoors soon.

I brought some ginger home from the organic food store with the intention of growing it to put into herbal tea. I was hoping it was an exotic orchid like plant and couldn't believe the wild-grass-like stem and if I didn't see the sprout on the rhizome that produced the "grass" I wouldn't believe it!

I grow turmeric as well as ginger and didn't know turmeric is a form of ginger...cool!😃 One should know you can overwinter your ginger and turmeric by wrapping the pieces you wish to grow in newspaper or just leaving them out on the counter in my case. They will spring to life when potted up! Also, in hotter regions, you may want to plant smaller pieces. In Central Texas, we get plenty of heat and a long growing season, so my plants spread a lot in their pots. Thanks, Ben and crew!💕

I have been grinding my unpeeled ginger in the food processor a quart at a time also adding a few tablespoons of white vinegar. The strong taste of the ginger maskes the vinegar so I can't detect it and the vinegar eleminates any chance of moulding. It keeps in in the fridge for months and I have it conveniently available since I use it almost every day and don't have to deal with the occasional grated knuckle.

Great video! I started growing ginger a year ago, after people told me I couldn’t grow ginger on Cape Cod. Yes I can, and I did! It grows quite well in fact, and I got a large yield out of a bottomless 32” diameter container. My big mistake was in not processing it quickly enough - cleaned and put in the fridge temporarily, and when I took it out to cut up and freeze, half had already gone moldy. I was heartbroken. I didn’t make that mistake this year. Smaller yield this year because I grew turmeric in with it, and the turmeric did very well too, despite the short season. It didn’t get that rich yellow color though, so probably isn’t worth growing again (at least for food - the foliage alone was quite beautiful). Sometimes you just have to give it a shot. Ginger fresh from the garden is extraordinary!

Couple points: (1) If you think of it as a foliage plant, you can justify planting it more (and overwintering in the house). Ginger and Turmeric really add a tropical feel. Good mixed with Bromeliads and Orchids. (2) I grate fresh ginger - easy enough - and then squeeze it and the fibrous pulp in my fingers to add the juice to the dish. No freezing required. (3) I've had great success with turmeric here in the Bay Area, CA, but it needs patience in spring. It takes a while to emerge. Ginger, for me, usually starts taking off only late in the season, probably because I havent bothered to establish a perennial patch yet. So, I think its important to remember these are long-term, perennial plants. Overall, I would grow them in a greenhouse as ornamentals and pick some as a fragrant crop, rather than think of these as a way to grow your own and save some money. But obviously in a tropical climate, they would make great garden plants for permaculture.

That was a very good and comprehensive introduction to ginger. I grew ginger (from the grocery shop) some years ago on the window sill in a rather cool house, actually.

Up to the point of loosing them when overwintering, they were the easiest thing to grow.

Yes it will grow, more susceptible to rot though. But dats how I grow mine in d caribbean. I cut off a couple sections only where the eyes are and plant those sections. Some people leave it to scab first then plant it.

I loved the tip about freezing the ginger.

Definitely have to try growing some, and turmeric too, both are so delicious already, I'll be so curious to see the taste difference compared to store bought. Also, dream job working at a garden like that, but also shocked at just how many plants they have even of just ginger varieties, insane!

It was rather insane - and all gingers or very closely related. And that's only a small portion of the total number out there!

Thank You!! I have tried to grow ginger in the past but failed. This gives me much hope! Oregon is similar to your climate there so I think I can do it. I love the idea about freezing before grating. I'd never thought of that. God bless you

I just got fresh ginger roots in my farm share and I'm intrigued to grow it myself! The shampoo gingers are particularly spectacular!

Absolutely fascinating. I tried growing ginger, but clearly had no idea what I was doing. I will be trying again. Thank you.

I'll grow ginger for sure this 2nd season in my plot. My garlic has been sown in November, so I can put them together. Good to know.Thanks for the video Ben.

Great video, thanks for sharing this information. Loved the bonus field trip to the ginger greenhouse. I can't wait to try growing my own. I live in zone 4 in the USA so will be over wintering in the house.
