Plant pink ginger root (rhizomes) by placing them on top of potting mix in a tray, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
The reference video provides a glimpse into general ginger growing, which includes the initial steps relevant for pink ginger as well. While the video doesn't specifically focus on pink ginger (Alpinia purpurata), the initial planting steps for the rhizome are very similar to common ginger (Zingiber officinale). Therefore, you can adapt the shown techniques for your pink ginger:
- Prepare the Tray: Fill a tray or container with potting mix.
- Place the Rhizomes: Position the pink ginger rhizomes on top of the potting mix.
- Spacing: Ensure a spacing of about 2-3 inches between each rhizome.
Note: The video covers sprouting store-bought ginger. If your pink ginger root is from a similar source, ensure it has visible "eyes" or buds to encourage sprouting. Pink ginger typically thrives in warm, humid conditions. Therefore, provide adequate moisture and warmth to encourage growth after planting.
