Cultivation methods and precautions of closed sheath ginger

How to cultivate closed sheath ginger

soil

Ginger has strong adaptability to soil and can grow in various soils, but it prefers loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil, so it is better to choose such soil when planting. Before planting, you can disinfect the soil and apply a little base fertilizer.

Light and temperature

Ginger likes warmth and plenty of light. It is not tolerant to strong light, but can tolerate shade. The growing environment of Ginger needs to avoid direct sunlight. You can choose to maintain it in a cool place with bright light or build a sunshade to provide shade when the light is strong in summer.

The suitable temperature for the growth of Ginger is 20℃-30℃. It can grow under higher temperatures and will be in a semi-dormant state in winter. Ginger has a strong cold resistance and can withstand temperatures above 0℃. Be careful not to let it freeze, otherwise the above-ground part of the plant will wither and die. It can withstand high temperatures above 35°C in summer and continue to grow, but the growth rate is slower.

Water and fertilizer management

Ginger likes a humid environment, requires moist soil and high air humidity, and needs a lot of fertilizer during the growing period. When cultivating Ginger, it is necessary to fertilize frequently. Wood ash, potassium sulfate, etc. can be used. You can also apply decomposed cake fertilizer water and farmyard manure, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant.
