Selecting the Root: Begin with a fresh, plump piece of organic ginger root. Look for one with visible eyes (little bumps) from which the shoots will grow.
Soak the Root: Soak the ginger root in warm water overnight. This step helps to remove any residue that may inhibit growth and awakens the dormant buds.
Planting:
Once your ginger root is ready, it’s time to plant it. Follow these steps:
- Fill your wide, shallow pot with potting soil rich in organic matter.
- Place the ginger root on the soil, ensuring that the eyes are facing up.
- Cover the ginger root with about 1 to 2 inches of soil.
- Water the soil gently until it is evenly moist, but not soaking wet.
