This ginger has been around for years and has never bloomed. I have a great place for it and it is really my friends ginger. He had tried pots and other methods, but still no blooms. Since moving it here it looks better than it ever has(its moist semi-shady) He wants some of it back, but i get to keep half, which is a huge piece. I have to over winter it indoors. How should i handle this? Let it go dormant or keep it growing? I love this plant and want it to do well.
