It should always be slightly wet, crumbly. Ginger does not like excessive moisture, but the drying of the soil can not be allowed. But by the end of August feeding should be stopped. In the spring, as soon as you notice that ginger begins to grow, once a month feed it with urea, a dry mullein. For the winter, you can dig up and dry the rhizomes, and you can try to transplant into a pot and continue to grow at a temperature of +18 … +20 ° C at home. Weed the weeds and gently loosen the soil. At the same time it is necessary to maintain the temperature no more than +16 ° С. Somewhere in February, such a transplanted ginger will shed its leaves and will remain dormant. At this stage, the harvest may not please you, so many are transplanting ginger in tubs or large pots and grow in the heat of the house almost until spring. In harsh climatic conditions, the roots are dug out at the end of August. Do not allow the temperature to drop below + 18 ° C, otherwise ginger will “fall asleep” and it will be rather difficult to resume its growth. For normal growing season, create a ginger temperature of + 25 ° C, spray the soil with a little water.
Keep in mind that such a germinated root will not be able to be planted immediately in open ground, it must be planted in a warm greenhouse in late March – early April. Sections need to sprinkle with crushed coal from hardwood trees. It is cut into pieces so that each has a pair of growth points. The root for planting should have eyes, from which then shoots will appear. Of organic fertilizers, rotted manure is best, fresh can not be added.Ĭultivated ginger breeds only vegetatively – by dividing the rhizome into nodules in the spring before planting. Either the site for planting is well dig and charge with organic and mineral fertilizers, break with sand if the soil is heavy. Take the turf ground, humus and sand in a ratio of 1: 1: 0.5. Its acidity may be slightly increased or normal. The soil should be light, but very fertile. We decided on the site: bright, sunny but without direct sunlight, warm, protected from winds and heavy rains. Moreover, the soil mixture needs to be updated, and the root is divided. In addition, ginger is very bad for a transplant, it is recommended to do it in the spring, as well as plant. When planting ginger, it is worth considering that this tropical exotic plant does not tolerate drafts, excessive moisture and moisture (the rhizome begins to rot), the wind and the scorching direct sun will also negatively affect the yield. Of course, ginger is easily cultivated at home in a pot, but this article is for those who want to get a fragrant and healthy guest in their garden. For cultivation in the ground need a winter garden or heated greenhouse. Ginger root ripens in the ground for about 10 months, so it is believed that in the middle lane it is impossible to grow it in the garden. Keep in mind that ginger is a heat-loving southerner. It is its rhizome that we use in everyday life as a spice, as well as a healing agent. The most well-known species in culture is Zingiber officinale. Externally, the plant is somewhat similar to our dear cane, but the stems have many scales. The flowers are collected in the ears at the top of the shoots, in the axils of the leaves. The most common in culture – orange-yellow and brown colors of the inflorescences, but there are also red. The leaves are simple, whole, long, at the ends with a point.ĭepending on the cultivated variety, ginger flowers may vary in color. Ginger stalks are not pubescent, they are long, rounded and upright.
From the most developed rhizomes a pair of ground stalks grow. Ginger has a dense, thick rhizome, covered in several layers with leaves with interstitial adventitious roots located in them.
It is due to this that he has an unusual spicy-sharp aroma and taste. Ginger contains many essential oils in its rhizome and other parts. At the beginning of the XVI century, introduced to America.
