to promote healthy growth. Keep an eye out for pests like aphids or spider mites, and address any infestations promptly. As the plant grows, you may need to stake it to provide support.
Harvesting Your Homegrown Ginger
Ginger can be harvested once the plant is mature, typically 8 to 10 months after planting. Look for signs like yellowing leaves and reduced growth. Carefully dig around the base of the plant to expose the rhizomes. You can harvest the entire plant or just a portion of the rhizomes, allowing the plant to continue growing. Rinse the harvested ginger thoroughly and let it dry before use.
