Nice ;-) I never did get last years Ginger to bloom. I probably did
not water it enough in the later season.


Thanks, yes they are rather thirsty plants. :-)


Thanks for that, so how often do you water them, and how much?
They started to throw one bloom spike, but it died. :-(


Depends on the rainfall, but I never let them dry out completely.

I left most of last years rhizomes in the ground. Just pulled a single
one because I needed it at the moment and was out of frozen.


I don't have that problem, live in a subtropical climate.

Mine are "grocery store" ginger.
