Don’t throw away the ginger when it sprouts. Bury it in the soil and it will grow into fresh ginger in 3 months. You don’t need to buy it all winter!

Speaking of preventing colds, I wonder if everyone is like Huahua. When she was a child, her mother would cook ginger soup for her every winter. After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, her whole body would be warm. Not to mention catching a cold, she wouldn’t even have a cough! Sure enough, my mother’s ginger soup is the most effective!

Usually Huahua always teaches everyone some small methods to grow vegetables at home. I heard from many friends that the results are very good. So today Huahua will teach you how to grow ginger on the balcony or at home! Don’t be surprised, we can grow garlic, so why can’t ginger?

Because ginger is a seasoning vegetable, it is best for us to buy less ginger each time. If we buy too much, the ginger will sprout over time! Many friends think that when ginger sprouts, they should cut off the sprouts before eating it. Huahua shook her head after hearing this and asked, "Why don't we use sprouted ginger to grow fresh ginger?"

In fact, it is a waste to throw away the sprouted ginger. We can plant and maintain the ginger. After a period of maintenance, fresh ginger may grow! Of course, to grow old ginger into young ginger, some tricks are needed. Let Huahua tell you about them below.

Ginger likes slightly acidic soil, and it is best if the soil contains rich humus. This will provide sufficient nutrients for the ginger in the later growth period, allowing the ginger to grow faster. We can also add leaf mold, pine needles and fine sand into the soil. These things can keep the soil well-breathable and prevent the ginger roots from rotting.

When planting ginger, we must ensure the moist environment of the soil. Every time we water it, we must follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet". Generally, we should water it three times a week. However, since the temperature has been dropping, the temperature and frequency of watering should be adjusted according to the specific situation!

Because we hope that old ginger can grow into young ginger, fertilization is a must. When ginger just starts to grow, we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer to it, which can accelerate the growth of ginger. When ginger grows to the later stage, you need to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. This is because phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can make the ginger fruits bigger! Basically, you need to fertilize ginger every month.

Compared to other vegetables grown at home, is ginger a little more troublesome to grow? In fact, Huahua feels that the trouble lies in the matter of fertilizing. Other conveniences are fine. However, if you want your ginger to grow fresh ginger, you should apply some fertilizer!
