Default Growing ginger

Now that I'm rediscovering gardening after many years of not being
particularly bothered, I'm keen to get going. Finding myself in Tescos
looking at a box of loose ginger tubers I bought a couple of them with a
view to growing them. I only went in for bread and milk.

Is it a viable proposition?
Will they grow if I treat them nicely?
Will I get more tubers than I started with?
Will I get an attractive plant?


Your advice sought please.

I grew some in a conservatory back in the UK. The foliage never amounted
to much though and the tuber didn't get any bigger. It died over Winter.
It was an interesting experiment though.
