Hi there :) I recently purchaced some ginger root from the grocery store, and want to plant it (it's starting to show several greenish/yellowish buds) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how big I could expect it to become? I will be planting it into a container, and want to make sure the container isn't too small. I also wouldn't turn down any additionl tips people would want to post ;)
Your best bet is to check the responses in the archives for the 100 other times this has been asked. If something is not covered there then let us know and I'm sure one of us will be able to help you. Good luck on growing your ginger!
I did a search for "grocery" and nothing I found said how big I could expect it to get, which is what I most need to know, which is why I posted this topic.
Hi Marie, Here is an article written by Tim Chapman that will help you. I believe it states that it "grows to 3 feet in med/full sun". It also has other good info. as well. ~Good luck
i tried two different ginger variety last year. the regular ginger was yield pretty big zhigome but i try to winterizing it out door and it die. i also grown the orange ginger roots and they came back strong this year, the leaves are interesting large same size as canas.
