The super quick trick to growing ginger in a pot at home

By doing this trick you will have excellent results, although you have to keep in mind that the vegetative period of ginger lasts between 8 and 10 months and you don’t need to have a garden. Just a window exposed to the sun is enough!

To perform this trick you will need

• Ginger
• Water
• Potassium permanganate
• Plastic bag
• Pot with soil
• Humus and sand

1. Before sowing, it is necessary to activate the ginger, soaking it in water and potassium permanganate (available in pharmacies) for about 2 hours.
2. Place the ginger in a plastic bag and seal tightly. Leave it in the bag until it begins to sprout (see photo 2).
3. Cut a piece of ginger for each sprout (for example, if there are 8 sprouts, cut them into 8 pieces).
4. In a pot with potting soil, add a small amount of humus and sand, and mix it with the potting soil.
5. After preparing the soil, plant the ginger, so that the sprouts can face the direction of the sun.
6. Water the soil when it is very dry. Avoid overwatering as it could cause root rot.

recommendations

• Use a pot large enough to allow the ginger to grow comfortably. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water from pooling at the bottom and causing root rot.
• Ginger will be ready to harvest after approximately 8-10 months of growth. You can harvest part of the rhizome and leave the rest in the pot to continue growing.
