How long does ginger grow?

The growth cycle of ginger is about 210 days. There are many varieties of ginger, and the growth cycles of different varieties are different, but most of them are between 5-11 months.

The growth of ginger goes through several stages including seedling stage, vigorous growth stage, rhizome dormancy stage, etc. The plants are planted around the Qingming Festival and mature in October-November.

Ginger growth process

1. Seedling stage: From the time the first leaf of ginger unfolds to the formation of relatively large side branches is the seedling stage of the plant. During this period, the leaves are stretched and the main growth is nutritional.

2. Vigorous growth period: After growing three branches, ginger enters a rapid growth period. During this period, the rhizomes, stems and leaves grow very fast, and the weight of the tubers increases rapidly.

3. Rhizome dormancy period: Ginger will enter a dormant period in winter, so it is necessary to harvest ginger before frost and store it.

Ginger growth period maintenance and management

1. The ground temperature needs to be increased during the ginger seedling stage, and the plants need to be fertilized in time and excess weeds in the field need to be removed, which is conducive to the cultivation of strong seedlings.

2. During the vigorous growth period, ginger not only needs watering and topdressing, but also timely soil cultivation, which can provide better soil conditions for the expansion of rhizomes.
