Cut into pieces with at least one bud on each piece
Let cut pieces dry for 1 to 2 days
Fill a wide pot with rich, well-draining soil
Plant the rhizome 1 to 2 inches deep with buds facing up
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged
Place the pot in warm, indirect sunlight
Maintain temperatures between 70°F and 85°F
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist
Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks
Mulch to help retain moisture
Remove weeds around the plant
Harvest young ginger after 4 to 6 months
