- Growing Ginger In Containers in Zone 5 Wisconsin! - and it's DAY 14 of our 31 Days of Giving
Our 14th gardening giveaway video focuses on our experiment with planting ginger in containers indoors.
We have wanted to grow organic ginger for a long time, but as it is a tropical plant, we can't grow it outdoors for the entire 8-10 months it would need in order to grow to full maturity. So, we have taken some of our storebought organic ginger that sprouted, and we are planting it indoors.
We bought this ginger a few weeks ago, and we left it in its packaging and now it is healthy and sprouting ginger that already has the beginnings of roots, so we are taking this opportunity to create ginger seedlings that we can then transplant if they are successful.
This is another exciting garden experiment for us, and we can't wait to share and watch the results as they move forward.
We hope you enjoy this video!
Today's Giveaway winner gets two prizes!

Congratulations to the winner!!
I experimented with ginger this past year from store bought ginger. I broke 1 hand-sized piece of ginger into 5 pieces roughly the size of a golf ball each, and put them into a ziploc bag with a moist paper towel. After they began to sprout, I planted each of them into a 3 gal nursery pot in a potting mix of compost, perlite, and some organic fertilizer. After our last frost, I set the pots out in the back yard and let nature do its thing. I watered them some during the hot and dry summer months, but otherwise took a "set it and forget it" approach until after the frost came this fall. In each pot, I harvested about 3-4x the size of piece of seed ginger, so all in all not a bad return! For 2023, I want to try larger containers (maybe 10gal grow bags) and fertilize/water with more intentionality. One of my neighbors is Chinese, and the other is Indian, and I would love to bless them with fresh ginger!
This is a fantastic comment with lots of helpful details for us. Thank you for sharing. I think that it will be interesting to see how the ginger performs outside vs how it starts inside. I would love to see a good return on investment. We will keep a close eye on it and see how it starts out. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Congratulations to the winner! A great prize. grew ginger this past season in SE Wisconsin zone 5. I started some organic ginger indoors and then moved outside (in a pot) late May. It produced very well and I plan to grow again but start earlier (mid to end of Jan) The plants I had in dappled shade mostly protected from the hot afternoon sun did tremendously better than the ones I had in mostly sun with no protection.
This is such a useful comment for us! Especially given our close proximity, we will keep the shade in mind when we move outdoors. Thank you so much for the comment!
Thanks, I thought ginger preferred sun! Maybe that's why I haven't had any luck! Well, at least one reason!
Congrats I have these with the lights built in and they did phenomenally! Congratulations you will be so thoroughly impressed
So cool! My dad grows ginger in Puerto Rico. Never thought of trying it here. Can’t wait to see how this works out for you.; Congratulations winner! These are two things that have been on my Amazon wish list since January. Enjoy!
Thank you for watching Laura. We are seeing some of the shoots popping through the surface now, so we are just as excited to see how well it does.
I tried growing ginger for the first time this year. It did not go well. I still have a lot to learn but that’s what I love about gardening there’s always something new to learn
Well, this is definitely a first for us as well, so we will see if we can have some better results to share. You are right. Tons to learn!
Congratulations to the winner.
Thank you for watching Debbie!
Congratulations to the winner! I’ve never thought about growing ginger but I’ll add it to my list!
If you are like us, the list keeps getting longer. :)
Congrats to the winner. I'm lucky enough to be in a growing zone where I can plant and keep ginger outdoors. This was my first year growing both ginger and turmeric. Both did really well and I'm excited to plant them both again. It does take forever for them to take off. When I first planted mine, I thought for sure I'd done something wrong and they weren't going to do anything. I'd about given up when I suddenly had shoots sticking out of the ground. They are definitely a long term crop but I think they were well worth the effort. Good luck. Have patience!
Thank you so much for telling us all this. It really helps to hear the experiences of others when you are brand new to growing something. Turmeric is something I think we will also try in the future. So many uses!
I'm scared to even try turmeric, it's really expensive here, and next to impossible to find. I'll keep looking into it, it would be great to have🌄
Congratulations to the winner! I have several of those germination mats, and they hold up remarkably well to damp and dirty conditions.
I tried growing ginger last year. Was just about to move it indoors, and it suddenly died. Nighttime temperatures were maybe 55 on the low side. I'll try again.
The warmth of the soil definitely seems to be quite important. We will see how our transition from indoors to outdoors goes. :)
Yes,how great to be able to move it outside in the summer if you choose to. May as well save on your lighting when you can too.👍
Exactly! We will likely keep growing some things in the raised bed even during the summer, but we will get to cut way down on lighting during that time.
We received a gift certificate to our local Coop. The shopping list includes organic ginger, organic turmeric, and as many whole chickens as the gift provides. Yup, I'm starting ginger and turmeric in a 2x4 tent along with herbs (lighting provided by MIGROW ARAY lights (no sponsor, I just, seriously, love what they do based on a cost comparison to other lights!)). Nonetheless, the herbs are in 5-gallon fabric planters; the ginger and turmeric will go in 10-gallon planters. All of these will move outside next spring. Next fall I'll gather all I can, Z5 southern VT, amend with worm castings, implement an IPM protocol, and start the process again.
A word of caution! If you try to do indoor/outdoor/indoor you will bring bugs/pests/creepy-crawlies in your house!!! The best defense is a pre-determined IMP (Integrated Pest Management) strategy, which involves inoculations of beneficial "stuff", such as soil microbes, organic sprays for foliar applications, and such. Think JADAM or KNF, because a pest infestation will cause many frustrations... ask me how I know!
Thank you so much for the detailed information. We will definitely do a indoor to outdoor but not back to indoor for these. We have some pretty bad experiences with pests as well, so we would like to avoide that if we can. We will have to look into the MIGROW ARAY lights as a possible future option. Thank you again for sharing!
Congratulations to the winner🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for watching Ohad!
Congratulations to the winner.
I’ve been wanting to grow ginger for several years, but for some reason haven’t pulled the trigger and planted any, perhaps this next year I’ll finally get some planted.
We were fortunate to have those pieces look so nice! I am really hoping to get some good results. TIme will tell. :)
This is going to be my third year growing ginger and I'm finally learning that it's going to take over 10 months to get it to the right size. And OMG, I won. Thank You so very much. My granddaughter screamed out, "You won!!" So thank you.
Congratulations!!! We were so happy to see that you won! Please email us your contact info to gutengardening@gmail.com, and we will get that ordered and shipped out to you ASAP! We really appreciate how big a part of our community you are!
@@GutenGardening Thank you. ❤️
Congratulations 👏
Congratulations!!!
This will be my first year growing ginger. Do you have any advice for a Z5 climate with lots of potential to start/finish most anything indoors? Basically, how would you move ginger grown indoors during winter to outdoors during a very short growing season.
I have a micro-climate problem at my house; it can be hotter, or colder than my zone predicts, or that others experience in my area. Guessing you'll write 10-months, and that's perfect!
Congrats to winner! Very informative video! Even though I have grown ginger and even turmeric before, I have learnt a lot more.
Thank you so much Dee!
I've never thought of growing ginger in containers. Since I want to plant everything under the sun, I'll definitely plant some in containers. I miss Jamaica for stuff like this.
Guten Gardening were you affected much by the super freeze we just had? All my onion seedlings that I planted in tires died. Last year I planted them in November and had a fantastic harvest. I'm pleasantly surprised that my Marjoram, Thyme and Parsley are still hanging tough in my little greenhouse that I swaddled many times over with plastic and included grow lights.
I pray the blessings of Yeshua upon you and your family for 2023 and continually. You are a sower and a scatterer and the word says, give and it will be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together shall men bring unto your bossom. With whatever measure you mete, it will be measured unto you. You go on then and possess your blessings. Shalom
It is definitely worth the try. As to the deep freeze, we only have some collard greens and a little kale outside, so fortunately none of the rest of our vegetables were affected. I think it got down to a about -10F here and more with the wind chill. :(
Congrats winner!!
Ginger is definitely on my list of things I want to grow eventually, but not for this next coming year. I still have a lot of basics to get good at first lol. But really the forward thinking and future planning is one of my favorite things about gardening, just dreaming of the possibilities 😍
Definitely start with the essentials first. Once you get more comfortable you can have a ton of fun experimenting! :)
@@GutenGardening I'll be growing quite a few other vegetables but just not on as large of a scale as the potatoes, onions and garlic this year.
Congrats to the winner. Great video!
Thank you so much! :) Have a wonderful weekend Colleen!
Congratulations to the winner! Awesome prize! I really enjoy this tutorial about ginger. Hoping for good results, even in your zone!
Thank you! We are going to work hard to try to get the best results. :)
Congratulations to the winner!
This experiment is very interesting to me! I have failed in my indoor ginger growing experiments 2 years in a row now. I think that it may be the soil acidity, and possibly fertility, which could be the problem. I am interested to see how yours does, and I may try again!
We will definitely keep everyone updated with how ours grows. How much growth did you get out of yours?
Over a 2 tear period, they grew to be around 10" tall, but the tips continually dried out, and the rhysomes never got large. They never rotted, they just stayed really tiny.
Congratulations to the winner 🎉.
Have been thinking if ginger can be grown in containers zone 6.
Thank you so much Elaine! Give it a try for sure. :)
Congratulations winner. That prize will come in very handy. I need one too. Love the instructions on growing ginger. Bought some just the other day so this tutorial comes in handy. Thank you
Thank you! We would love to know how it turns out for you.
Congratulations to winner number 14, as always I'm hoping to be a winner next time. I'm really amazed at how much fun it is to experiment in this case with ginger. I might try that here in Central Florida. Can't wait to see the results.
Would love to hear how it goes for you if you give it a try!
Awwww nuts....maybe next time. Congrats to the Winner!
I am zone 5 too and am going to try this. We love ginger! I put it in my fresh press juices
Absolutely! Fresh ginger in juice is fantastic. I never tried ginger in way until in my 20s. But, I am so glad I have now. :)
Congratulations to the winner!
Thank you so much Lynda! :)
Congratulations to the winner. Sorry I’m late just seeing this video.
Well, better late than never. :D :D Thank you so much for watching!!!
I've been growing ginger and turmeric. It didn't take long for the ginger to grow. I just break or cut the nodes off the main piece and plant that, and save the rest to use in my juicing.
Do you have a favorite ginger recipe for the juice?
I've thought about growing ginger. Will be watching for updates on how it is doing,.
We will definitely keep you updated as it starts to grow. Hoping for some good results. :)
Congratulations to the winner! I’ve thought about growing ginger, but for now I’m focusing on using my small growing space on things I use more often.
That is the best decision you can make. Grow what you eat and will use, and you can't go wrong.
I've never even considered growing ginger. Now I'll have to add it to my "try it someday" list.
We are just starting to see some sprouts peeking through now. :)
Grats winner!
Thank you for watching Veronica!
Congratulations!
Thank you so much for watching Kim!
Congrats winner! I've been wanting to try growing ginger but haven't gotten around to it. I look forward to seeing how it does for you.
Some of it is just now peeking through. :)
Oh I love ginger and we grow in pots. but a small price in my flower bed. I would like to be put in your drawing. Thanks
I grew ginger last summer, but mine were soooooo tiny. Hehe I'm going to use larger peices this year.
We are thinking there is a correlation between the piece size and the results. We will see. :)
This is my first time growing ginger. I planted it about 2 months ago. I have 2 stalks right now, one about 12” tall, one about 6”. I’m trying to get it through time the warmer temps of spring
Fantastic! How did the ginger look when you planted it?
@@GutenGardening Not quite as robust as yours, but it did have a couple of small shoots so I just planted the entire piece instead of cutting it up.
Congratulations to the winner. I would like to start growing ginger.
Give it a try for sure!
Ginger is awesome.
Agreed!!!
I'm interested to see how you harvest these. I've heard you can break off chunks of rhizome so you only take what you need.
I think some people do take off pieces. As this is our first time growing it, that will be part of the harvest adventure for sure. For now, I am just looking forward to making sure it takes off well, but we will look into that further as we get closer.
Congrats! I grew ginger last year. It did okay. I am going to try it in grow bags this year.
How long did yours grow before you harvested?
@@GutenGardening About 3-4 months, possibly longer.
I want to grow ginger... good timing.
Glad to be of assistance! Have a wonderful weekend!
Congrats. I tried ginger last yr. No luck. Need to try again.
Definitely try again. We will see how this experiment goes, and make adjustments from there.
What a beautiful name for the winner ❣️
Thank you so much for watching!
I'll be interested in the followup videos to this :)
I have always wanted to try growing ginger.
Go for it! No matter what the results are, the experience will be worth it.
Ginger grows easy
I am really hoping for that!
Ginger in WI will have to try
Let's see how it grows! :)
In zone 5 what month do you start the ginger indoors?
zone 5, 2 nd year growing ginger!
Awesome! How did your first year go?
@@GutenGardening Good, i put it out side during the summer and then in a pot before it got really cold. it wasnt too happy about that and had some die off, but now its grown quite a few new shoots and is happy again. i think ill try to keep the bulk of it in pots, but maybe do some in the ground to get lots of new growth in summer; just to experiment.
I tried growing ginger in a pot last year and it never even came up, just rotted in the pot...it had no sprouts on it when I planted it. Maybe if I left it outside the fridge it would have sprouted, but you'd think it would have sprouted in the summer outside. Probably won't even try it again.
So interesting! How did the ginger look at the time of planting?
@@GutenGardening Just like it looks at the grocery store

Thank you! You should give it a try! :)
Congrats to the winner! Nice prize.🙂
Thank you Leslie!
I started growing shampoo ginger last summer. It didn't flower. I'm hoping it will flower this year since it should be established now.
I recently bought some ginger from the store that was spouting and I have that in my kitchen, hoping it'll grow.
It flowers in its second year. So don't give up
I have seen some amazing pictures of the shampoo ginger. It looks like a magnificent plant!
I wish you good luck with your ginger growing efforts. It certainly is an interesting looking plant. I don't use fresh ginger much in cooking, other than baking, because I do not enjoy the sharp pungency. Each to his own! Lots of folks don't like cilantro, and I absolutely love it.
You are so right. I love cilantro alot. I think it adds so much to dishes, but the rest of my family doesn't care for it at all.
Congratulations to the winner!!! Tried ginger for the first time this past year, but think I started too late for the long growing time. Got good growth but not much rhizome development. Trying again this year.
It is quite the long growing period. I am really hoping to be able to take advantage of the outdoors once everything heats up. We will soon see. :)
I've never grown ginger. I'm in zone 7b, high desert, but I'm going to give it a try this year. I'll just use a big ol' goat feed bucket and bring it in over the winter!
That is a great prize to win! Congrats to the winner!
Great to hear! I am thinking that maybe yours will need some shade based on some of the other comments and our research, but I imagine it will do quite well for you.
Congratulations winner. I’ve just started to cook with ginger but I bought a ginger past in a tube that I’ve been using instead of powder or the root. Normal it would be an ingredient that I would skip.
If you have never done it, I would recommend giving ginger tea a try. It is an experience unlike any other. :)
Congratulations to the winner. Great prizes! I like to experiment so I will try ginger this year . Thank you for all of the information🙂
We would love to hear how the experiment goes for you. :)
I tried ginger a few years ago. Some of it grew, some of it rotted, and I ended up harvesting about 1/3 of what I planted. 😅
Good to know! How did the pieces look for you at the time of planting?
Congrats I grew Ginger 2 years ago indoors zone 5a placed in by my glass doors that only got sun about 2pm to about 6 They grew awesome and got a lot of ginger
That is so fantastic to hear. We will see if we need to make some of the light a little less direct as it starts to develop. Thank you so much for the information.
Congratulations to the winner! I have been trying to grow ginger indoors but have not had any luck. The shoots get about 6 inches tall and then they die off. Still going to keep trying though.
Any ideas what might be causing them to die back from your point of view?
Not sure. Might be over/under watering. I've always tried indoors under grow lights because I am in zone 6b Ohio
Congratulations winner! I see my ginger is sprouting. I really should plant it soon. Great video! 😁
Would love to hear how it goes for you. :)
I grew some one year outside during the summer in a shady spot and it did really well. It didn't transition well coming indoors though.
That is great to know. I am hoping the reverse transition of indoors to outdoors will go okay. We will see. :)
I’m trying ginger for the first time as well. Wish me luck. I hope your experiment is a success.
Best of luck with your ginger as well. :)
Congratulations to the winner, I planted ginger in the basin and it grew quite well
Fantastic to hear. We are hoping for some good results. :)
Congratulations winner. Your day just got better!🎉
Thank you so much for watching Julie!
I tried to grow ginger before with no luck, maybe I'll try again
What was your experience that first time?
Beautiful hunk of ginger! I hope it works out!
Same here! Thank you for watching Rebecca!
Oh sweet! Ginger is a wonderful crop.
We are really excited to watch it grow and see how it does.
Was an epic fail this year.. last year was ok.
Good to know. What was the difference between the two years for you?
Congratulations winner!
Thank you for watching Rebecca!
I had a similar experience to yours where I purchased ginger root, and I had it in my basement on A table. After a few weeks, I noticed to sprouts on the ginger root. This was a joy, sparking occurrence, and I am thrilled to enter your contest. Thanks for the opportunity.
What a great gift congratulations to the winner!!! I am growing ginger outside. I have not harvested them yet because they still have green growth on the leaves.
Very nice! When did you plant?
@@GutenGardening I planted them in September
@@GutenGardening I meant to say ginger. Not garlic. Though I am growing garlic as well. I’m growing ginger and turmeric side-by-side. And they both are not dying back yet.
congrats!
Thank you for watching Brianna!
I have tried multiple times to grow ginger, but it looks like what you showed your initial attempt lookilike. You have inspired me to try again, thanks. I love ginger, use/eat a lot of it.
I live in Idaho and I am glad to find your video, I've been wanting to know how to grow ginger in my area, thanks for the information
Is there a follow up video???
congrats to the winner. Great video. I would like to see a horseradish video.
We haven't tried growing horseradish before. We will have to add it to the list. :)
Congrats! Ginger never though of trying to grow it. Interesting
Give it a go! :)
Congratulations to the winner! 🎉
