Choose a fresh, plump ginger rhizome with visible buds
Cut the ginger into pieces with at least one bud on each piece
Let the cut pieces dry for 1 to 2 days
Fill a pot with well-draining soil
Place the ginger pieces horizontally with the buds facing up
Cover lightly with 1 to 2 inches of soil
Water lightly to keep the soil moist, not soggy
Keep the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect light
Maintain consistent moisture as new shoots appear
Wait for roots and shoots to develop before transplanting or harvesting
