Why buy ginger? You can't eat it all when you grow it yourself, and you can also use it as a bonsai

Ginger planting steps

Usually, collect the ginger that has sprouted or been left over from cooking at home, cut it into small pieces and set aside.

Prepare flower pots and planting soil. Ginger has no requirements for planting soil, garden soil or nutrient soil will do.

Spread the ginger pieces on the soil, cover them with another layer of soil, leaving the ginger sprouts slightly exposed.

After planting, water it thoroughly and place it on the windowsill to ensure sufficient light.

Normally, as long as you see the surface of the soil turns white and dry, you can water it, and make sure to water it thoroughly each time.

Ginger grows very fast, and with proper care, you will have a lush potted plant in 1-2 months.

After a while, when the leaves start to turn yellow and fall off, you can harvest them! There were only a few small pieces of ginger originally, but now there is a whole basin full of them, enough to eat for a whole year.
