- Plant the Roots
Soak the ginger rhizomes in water for several hours to trigger sprouting.
Once small buds appear, cut the rhizome into sections, each with at least one sprout.
Plant them in the box with the buds facing upwards.
Repeat the same process for turmeric rhizomes. - Growing Conditions
Place the box in a location that receives partial shade.
Only water the soil when the top feels dry to the touch.
As the plants grow and their leaves develop, you may need to increase watering slightly. - Harvesting Tips
In the fall, reduce watering to prevent root rot.
Once the foliage starts turning yellow, it’s time to harvest.
Gently dig up the roots, separate them, and store or use your fresh homegrown ginger and turmeric as needed.
With just a few straightforward steps, you can enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting your own ginger and turmeric right at home.
