Ginger
Zingiber officinale
Ginger grows best in warm, humid conditions with indirect or dappled light and consistently moist, rich, well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes just below the soil surface in a pot or shaded garden bed, and keep humidity high by misting or using a pebble tray. The plant goes dormant in winter, so reduce watering and resume in spring when new shoots emerge.
