Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this product is harvested ginger root, understanding its origins can provide insight into its quality. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) thrives in warm, humid climates, much like the Peruvian Amazon. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. If you were to grow your own ginger from a piece of this root, you would need to mimic these conditions. Plant rhizomes in spring after the last frost, ensuring they are partially covered with soil.

Ginger plants require consistent moisture but are susceptible to rot in waterlogged conditions, so excellent drainage is crucial. They prefer partial shade, especially in hot climates, as direct, intense sun can scorch the leaves. For continuous growth, a warm environment with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) is ideal. Fertilization with a balanced organic fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season can encourage robust rhizome development. Harvesting typically occurs 8-10 months after planting, once the leaves begin to yellow and die back. This meticulous care results in the potent and flavorful fresh Peruvian ginger root you receive.
