Most people are aware of the benefits of ginger root for boosting immunity. So I try to buy it from time to time. Fortunately, it is always available in our store.
About a month and a half ago, when I was choosing ginger, I found a root with swollen eyes. The idea came to me that such a root could germinate. This idea inspired me and I put it in the basket.
It was nice to know that this time there was no need to wait for the seeds to germinate. The root was already there and it seemed that there was nothing left to do but stimulate its awakening.
I placed the root in a spacious pot and covered it with soil so that the tip of the root remained on the surface. It seemed to me that this would make it easier for the sprouts to grow.
But a week later, there were no changes. The kidneys never developed, and new ones did not appear.
I couldn’t figure out what was going on. All conditions seemed favorable for root growth.
Then I covered it completely with soil and continued to water it regularly, hoping to wake up.
A week later, the first green sprout appeared! Finally, it came to life! Soon the second one grew, and the first had already reached a length of 10 cm. Every day the sprouts grew stronger and larger. The first leaves developed quickly, and after 12 days the first sprout reached a height of 65 cm and the width of the leaves was about 3 cm.
If growth continues at this pace, it will soon have to be transplanted to the dacha.
The next morning a third sprout appeared. It seems that the plant likes everything now.
In addition to its beneficial properties, ginger is also known for its beauty. In autumn, large red buds appear on adult plants, which secrete aromatic juice with antiseptic properties.
Ginger flowers are very resilient and can stay in a vase for several weeks without losing their freshness. This plant can be found in almost every grocery store.
