Where does ginger grow?

Ginger prefers a warm and humid environment, and is suitable for cultivation on slopes or slightly shady plots. The soil should be deep, fertile, well-drained sandy loam to heavy loam.

Ginger is native to tropical regions such as China and Southeast Asia. It is distributed in central, southeastern and even southwestern my country. It is widely cultivated in Xianfeng, Tongshan, Yangxin, Echeng, Xianning and Daye provinces and regions. Among them, the ginger produced in Anqiu, Shandong, Changyi, Shandong, Laiwu, Shandong and Dazeshan, Shandong Pingdu are particularly famous.

Ginger growing environment

1. Growth habits

   Ginger is not tolerant to low temperatures and will only germinate in an environment above 16°C. The most suitable temperature for seedling growth is around 25°C. It will stop growing below 15°C. Therefore, the climate in the river valley area is very suitable for the growth of ginger, and the yield will be relatively high.

2. Growth Light

Ginger cannot tolerate strong light. If exposed to strong light, its leaves will easily wither and its roots will rot, but it is not strict about the length of sunshine.

3. Soil

   Loose, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter and with convenient irrigation and drainage is most suitable for the growth and development of ginger. Ginger is neither drought-resistant nor moisture-resistant. High temperature and high humidity will cause its poor development, so it needs land with good drainage as a planting area.
