Growing Ginger

I m trying to grow some store-bought ginger suspended over water half in and half out. It has some nice looking knobs but so far has not sprouted after almost 2 months. Should I give up or put it in the ground or just cook it. Haha.

Ginger is usually sprayed with a growth inhibitor so it doesn't shoot up (if store-bought). Soak for 24 hours in water and rinse off. Then plant nice plump pieces of it. They are a slow grower so about eight to ten months.
