A gardening pro buried sprouted ginger in a pot and harvested 8 jin of ginger in half a year

Growing plants has become an indispensable part of family life. Whether in the living room, on the balcony or in the bedroom, many people place a few pots of flowers. Maybe it's lucky bamboo, maybe it's a clivia, maybe it's spider plant, pothos and so on. In short, any plants with bright blooms and leaves that stay green all year round are very popular with gardening enthusiasts. After growing plants for a long time, you naturally want to challenge yourself. For example, growing vegetables in pots on the balcony, growing plants from seeds in pots, or even growing fruit trees in pots.

Some gardening knowledge and tips come from everyday life. It's also great to apply some everyday tricks to growing plants. For example, next I'll share with you how a gardening pro buried "sprouted" ginger in a pot, and half a year later, 8 jin of ginger grew under the pot.

Speaking of growing ginger in a pot, it actually started by accident. Sometimes when you buy ginger at the supermarket as an ingredient for the home, you can't use it all up, and if you buy too much, it will sprout over time. Just like in the picture above. If you soak the ginger in water, it sprouts even more easily. After growing plants for a long time, it suddenly occurred to me: if I plant it in a pot, will it grow if I bury it in a flower pot? So I specially mixed nutrient soil for flowers and transplanted it into a flower pot.

Because when growing plants, the soil is also homemade, so the nutrient soil is very fertile and loose, after all, it's mixed with leaf mold, pine needles, peat soil and barnyard manure. After the ginger was buried in the flower pot, it grew like crazy, very fast. The next day you could clearly see it had grown a big chunk. The reason potted ginger grows so well, besides good soil, watering and light also played a role. The gardening enthusiast placed the flower pot in a spot with scattered light and good ventilation. After that, they sprayed a little water into the pot almost every day. Keeping it slightly moist.

After growing it like this for about a week, the ginger's leaves grew more and more, and the stems and leaves were noticeably thicker. From a distance, it looked just like "lucky bamboo", and its ornamental value is not low at all. When the ginger had grown to this point, its original ginger had long since turned into roots, and root rot wouldn't occur in a short time. Next comes good care, waiting for it to grow a big pot of ginger. Of course, during the care process, the importance of fertilizing goes without saying. It's best to fertilize once a month. Although the nutrient soil contains barnyard manure as a base fertilizer, the nutrients are far from enough. You also need to apply additional decomposed cake fertilizer water.

Fertilizing is recommended in the morning or evening each day. Two days before fertilizing the potted ginger, stop watering first and keep the potting soil slightly dry, which makes it easier to open up the soil and apply the fertilizer. Decomposed cake fertilizer can be replaced with fermented soybeans. The purpose of applying this fertilizer is to add nitrogen fertilizer to the soil. Nitrogen helps plant stems and leaves grow strong, and also helps flowering and fruiting. Naturally, it also helps potted ginger produce ginger.

Normally, besides fertilizing, occasionally applying some potassium dihydrogen phosphate can also promote its fruiting. After about five or six months of care, ginger like in the picture will grow. It's fair to say that for at least half a year you won't need to buy it again. The process of growing ginger in a pot is actually very simple, you'll get it as soon as you learn it. Of course, this requires care to grow.

Besides potted ginger, you can also grow sprouted potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on in pots, and they all bring plenty of fun.
