Plant Care & Growing Tips

While our fresh Peruvian ginger is sold as a culinary ingredient, understanding its origins can help appreciate its quality and even inspire home cultivation for those interested in gardening. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, preferring warm temperatures and high humidity. If you wish to attempt growing ginger from a fresh root, select a piece with visible ‘eyes’ or growth buds.

Plant ginger in rich, well-draining soil, ideally in a large pot or a raised garden bed. It prefers partial shade, particularly in hotter climates, as direct, intense sunlight can scorch the leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, as this can lead to rot. A good quality, loose potting mix amended with compost works best. Ginger is a heavy feeder, so regular fertilization with a balanced organic fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season will promote strong rhizome development. The ideal temperature range for growing ginger is between 75-85°F (24-29°C), making it suitable for USDA zones 9-11 if grown outdoors or as an indoor plant in cooler regions. Harvesting typically occurs 8-10 months after planting, once the leaves begin to yellow and die back. This meticulous growth process contributes to the potent flavor of our yellow ginger root.

When storing your purchased fresh Peruvian ginger, it’s best to keep it unpeeled in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry, or in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze whole, unpeeled pieces, which can then be grated directly from frozen. This helps maintain its freshness and robust flavor, ensuring your non-GMO ginger remains ready for use whenever inspiration strikes. Proper storage ensures you get the most out of your 5lb ginger bulk purchase.
