Ginger

I bought a ginger root from a supermarket and it has a very pale green shoot emerging. I've planted the whole piece in a pot and have it indoors.

Now what do I do with it? :D

 

Enjoy a nice ginger plant? :D I have three pieces that are doing very well, about 15cm tall now. Good luck with yours!

 

As you probably know they aren't hardy so keep it indoors over winter. Keep it fairly dry but in a light warm place. I have trouble overwintering them but I get worried and overwater! also my house is not very warm.
Here's an American site which giveslots of good advice:

Mine have never flowered, but now I've got the green house I have hopes!
