I have a decorative plant which is a member of the ginger family,
Can you use the plant in the same fashion as ginger?

You mean, is it likely to be edible? I believe the answer is no.
I've wished the same as you, but every time I see an impressive
ornamental ginger on a tv gardening show, they hasten to add that
it is not edible.

Does the cut root even have a ginger odour?
