June 22, 2015Q.Ginger Plants
I had planted some ginger plants in my garden last April. I didn't harvest them, so I left them there and they re-sprouted. The new shoots appeared at the beginning of May this year, which makes them over a month old but they were accidentally cut down. What I would like to know is if these rhizomes will re-sprout. If yes, when can I expect them to do so? Also, what can I do to help the situation?

June 22, 2015A.With ginger, I think it is likely that they will resprout. You should see new growth in as little as 2 weeks. A little fertilizer would not hurt, but other than that, they just need time.

January 5, 2016A.It will depend on the temperature and how long the root was exposed.

Freericktown,Ohio 43019Q.ginger plant from root
It has been easy to grow a plant from a section of ginger root. I have three very healthy shoots growing. One more has peaked through also. My question is the first shoot to grow is absolutely unlike the rest. The shoot is thin, about four inches tall, with tiny round leaves. What is this?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, ginger can be frozen. It can be either peeled first or frozen without peeling. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. When you are ready to use it, don't thaw; simply grate enough of the frozen ginger for your recipe, re-wrap the still frozen ginger root, and place it back in the freezer.

October 3, 2016Q.ginger plant
Is breaking the stems of ginger plants effective to increase the sizes and growth of ginger? I was told that stepping on your ginger plants or breaking the stems increases the size of the rhizomes. I was a quite curious of the truth behind this claim. Thank you for the answers that will be provided.

95367Q.Winter planting Ginger
About 6 weeks ago, I planted indoors organic ginger. It is almost 2" tall now and it seems to be growing very fat. I am in zone 10 and I wanted to know if winter harvesting is a good idea. When the ginger reaches 4', can it be harvested even though it is winter? This is my first time with this plant and I don't want to hurt it.

November 27, 2016A.Baby Ginger can be harvested 4 to 6 months after planting. Mature Ginger is harvested just after the winter die back of the plants. In your zone 10, the leaves will began to show signs of age by yellowing and withering.
