ive had this plant for about six yrs. it has lived in many places in my backyard, both potted as well as planted in the ground.
it died back more times than i care to remember while in the ground, so back to the pot for you buddy. in the past yr in a
pot, it just went heywire with the growing thing. does it like to be pot bound ? i ended up splitting it and now have 2. and now
they are both going crazy with the growth thing again. Whats up with that ? the other thing is, you can really smell that spicy
odor of fresh ginger root coming from the plant. interesting................... im all ears with any info someone may have about
this plant. thanks in advance. the pic shows the now 2 ginger plants just after dividing them.
