| Hi Everyone,
Can someone describe the best way to re-pot this species? Right now I have 5 nice plants sharing a wide, yet not very deep, terra cotta pot. The pot is about 15 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. The plants themselves are about 2 years old and about 2 feet tall. Can I leave the plants as they are or should I put them in a deeper pot? I have them under a 400 watt HPS and a 400 watt Metal Halide plant light. Thanks for any information you can share! Sincerely, Eric |

| Eric, why do you think they need repotting? Are they drying out really fast, or rootbound? The pot does seem sort of shallow.If it were me repotting them, I would divide them-just take a knife and cut straight down thru the tubers or roots, and pot them up into 2 gallon cont. so there is some width to the container. I have had my eye on this ginger for a little while-do you like it? Has it bloomed for you yet? Where do you put it in the summer-full sun or some shade? |
