There are many kinds of ginger. There are two common ones. One is the ginger we bought in the vegetable market. It's very spicy and doesn't grow flowers. Second, it looks like Canna. Its name is Ginger Lily. It can grow flowers. But it is very difficult to grow flowers, soil and temperature are very suitable, it can grow flowers. Its flowers are spike like, the edge of the bracts is yellow, and are covered with purple or green flowers, the flower stem is about 30 cm
Because its flowers can't bear fruit, so many people help it to reproduce by dividing plants, that is to cut off a section of its rhizome, which should have buds, as long as about ten centimeters. The distance between each plant is about 30 cm. Before planting, it's better to add more basal fertilizer to it, and then pour a lot of water on it. After 20-30 days, it can sprout and grow.
Its shape is very like a pine cone, there are scales like bracts, in the top grow a small flower, it is very beautiful
It belongs to the Ginger Lily genus, the flower is white, very elegant, can be used as a viewing plant, but also can eat, is a new green food, but its roots and stems and fruits can also be used as medicine.
In the south of the five ridges, it can be planted all year round, but it has the greatest probability of surviving in spring. If it is planted during the Qingming Festival, it will grow flowers in the early autumn. If it is planted for two years, its flowers will grow more vigorously. By the third year, its roots and stems will begin to age slowly, and then it will not bloom again. It needs to be replanted. If it is planted at home, as a potted plant, because it often lacks soil and fertilizer, the plant will grow higher, the root will be more, the growing environment is not very good, so it will not grow many flowers.
