Fertilizing ginger root plant (Ginger plant care)
The sprouted ginger root was nurtured with fertilization. Fertilization for ginger root plant occurred four times between June and September, about once a month.
We fertilized the ginger root plant between the plants. Since we’re doing organic farming, we used organic chicken manure as fertilizer. It was 30g (1 oz) per fertilization.
Growing ginger root was easy as there were hardly any tasks apart from fertilizing, and it grew well on its own. (If you fertilize ginger with chicken manure about once a month, it will grow well even with minimal attention.) I think ginger root plant is an easy vegetable to grow even for beginners in home gardening.
