edible ginger growing but leaves aren't unfurling

| I have horrible luck growing edible ginger indoors. This time, I cut back on the watering, and it's survived a lot longer than the others have. It's in a south window, is about 6 inches tall and has about 6 leaves. But the leaves are small and the tips aren't releasing themselves from the sheaths. The plant is bright green, with no yellowing or browning. What's wrong? TIA |

| The problem is you are growing gingers indoors. Put them outside. Very likely the problem you have is due to low humidity inside the house. If it is too dry the edges will dry out and more or less fuse together keeping the leaves from unfurling. Check out this link for a page on growing edible gingers. www.gingerwoodnursery.com

Are you feeding it? I prefer to use osmocote with supplemental foliar feedings of miracle grow. They also definately need a dry dormant period during winter.
