Growing ginger

Yes its possible, I guess you mean the culinary type?
I've grown it on from supermarket rhizomes, although I must say, its not really worth it.

It likes it warm , even in winter, but grows reasonably well.

 

Grew one in the office once, lovely flower

Would have gone well with my cup cake holder

 

It was that that I planted, or rather just sat on top of the soil in a pot.

Didn't get any more root growth, it just put it's energy into flowering.

 

My bit never flowered, it just grew leaves.
Its more out of interest, rather than like to get anything really practical out of it.
