Although ginger isn't recommended for temperate climate, I've had success planting a shop-bought rhizome it in a pot with coconut fibre potting mix. I shield the leaves from direct sun with shade cloth wrapped around the plants, which also keeps the humidity in. I water daily in summer and fertilise regularly with low nitrogen soluble fertiliser. Just waiting for the leaves to die down before harvesting.

Hi there, a friend gave me a ginger plant but I've found different suggestions on the net wether to plant it in full sun or shade. Its a huge rhizome and app. 90 cm long green leafy stems. Should the whole root be covered by earth? I'm located in the Upper Hunter Valley, NSW. Thanks Olivia

if you are growing eating ginger, they prefer half sun/shade place. The best place would be seeing the morning sun, but not the lunch and afternoon sun, since lunch and afternoon sun are too strong and will burn the leafy. Also it would be best to water them each day if planted outdoor.

Daley's Fruit tree Nursery have galangal, although is listed as out of stock now so you may have to wait for next year.

after a couple of weeks a piece of ginger i bought from a green grocer has just sprouted. i have it in a small pot inside a homemade 'hot box' i made. the hot box is about 1 m cube with a 25w light bulb inside to keep it warm [approx 25 deg c]. i initially made the box to keep my ginger beer plant 'alive' to make ginger beer throughout winter - my family loves the stuff!
