How to Grow Ginger from Store-Bought Rhizomes in Containers
Welcome to another gardening adventure! I’m Mark from Self Sufficient Me, and today, I’m going to show you how to grow ginger from store-bought rhizomes in containers. This method is not only cost-effective but also a great way to ensure you have fresh ginger at your fingertips. Let’s dive in!
Why Grow Ginger from the Store?
Ginger is celebrated for its health benefits and distinctive flavor, but it can be quite pricey at the store.
Growing your own ginger from store-bought rhizomes can save you a significant amount of money. Plus, it’s often cheaper to buy raw ginger from the supermarket than to purchase a fully-grown plant from a nursery.
Step 1: Select Your Ginger
Head to the supermarket and pick out some fresh ginger. Look for large, healthy rhizomes with a few "eyes" or buds, as these indicate the potential for sprouting.
Avoid old, shriveled pieces as they might be too far gone to sprout effectively. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, opting for organic ginger is a good choice.
