My Red Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior) bloomed

16 years ago

My Red Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior) finally bloomed after four years of growing in the ground inside my greenhouse. The torch is over 5 feet tall. The plant itself smashed into the greenhouse ceiling long ago.

Happy dance for you! Mine is blooming now too, so is E. heiroglyphica. I got my red torch from Bill (Cape Coral) and it bloomed the very next season after I planted it. I love it, I love the brilliant red on the stems of the blooms and the lower stems of the canes. The stalks of my red torch are easily 25+ feet in height. They go up to the ceiling of the greenhouse (20 ft) and then lay over and form a canopy of shade for whatever is under them. If they don;t lay over the way I want I get on a ladder and "arrange" them, LOL.
