Growing Ginger Bonsai
Preparation:
Select a large, robust ginger root with an attractive, rounded shape, a thick stem, and bright color.
Planting Container: Get creative and repurpose items such as bottles, old coffee cups, or bowls, or choose a deeper-toned ceramic dish or a wide-mouthed glass jar to showcase the root system.
Planting Ginger:
Plant the ginger root in a small cup of soil, burying only one-third of it. Mist the soil daily with water.
Within a week, you’ll see the emergence of roots and sprouts.
Once the ginger root has sprouted, gently remove it from the soil, taking care not to damage the roots and sprouts. Rinse the root and place it in a water-filled tray, ensuring that only the roots are submerged. Maintain the water level just enough to cover the roots and change the water every three days to keep it fresh and clean.
Position the tray in a well-ventilated area with indirect sunlight and sufficient light. In a few weeks, your ginger bonsai will flourish into a beautiful miniature tree.
