Default Re: My quest for ginger

I'm Glad that they are sprouting for you! I think its safe to say that most, or maybe all, gingers are very very slow to sprout. I bought some hedychium roots one month ago, and they are just poking up now (and thats by a very warm and sunny window). In comparison, my cannas started sprouting a week after planting! Gingers are slow plants to sprout, but pretty fast after that. My Costus is pupping and growing pretty well. I cant wait to take it outside and see it bloom.
Keep us updated on how your gingers do!
