1. Temperature

Ginger likes warmth. The rhizome will germinate at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, and the ginger tubers will develop rapidly at 20 to 27 degrees Celsius. The monthly average temperature is most suitable for the division of its rhizomes when it is 24 to 29 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, it will stop growing.

Ginger is shade-tolerant but not tolerant to strong sunlight. It is not strict about the length of sunshine, so when cultivating it, you should build a shade shed for it, or use intercropping to provide it with appropriate shade to avoid excessive sunlight.
