| I was at a Botanical garden up here in Canada
A plant labeled Dichorisandra Royal Queens Spiderwort caught my eye. I was given a cutting by one of the attendants But if it is a ginger not sure that it would be possible to grow, from a cutting I do not usually post on the ginger forum but hope to have an opinion I do have a home in Florida and do have some ginger growing there

| Dichorisandras aren't gingers. They are related to the Wandering Jew (Spiderwort). The common name for Dichorisandra thrysifoila is "Blue Ginger" but its a misnomer. As long as you were given a cutting with a leaf node, you should be able to root it. |

| I grow my Blue gingers in full sun but they can also grow well in part sun you'll get better growth and quicker flowering with more light/sun |
