The listing, Ornamental Ginger 2 live plants! has ended.

2 mature ornamental ginger plants!Great outdoors and indoors. Our plants are growing in the ground until auction ends ! We trim the plants down befor we send them out in the mail.Most gingers prefer bright, indirect light or filtered sun. However, their tolerances are pretty wide as long as they are not in bloom. Most varieties need high light in order to bloom.
During the growing season gingers all need to be kept consistently moist, but not standing in water. Since they are from tropical areas they appreciate tropical temperature lower 70º and 80ºF and most cannot tolerate a temperature lower than 64ºF.
Most gingers prefer moderate to high humidity during the growing season, but they can tolerate drier air during the winter.
Throughout the growing season feed them once a month with a balanced water soluble fertilizer . While they are in bloom, increase the frequency to every 2-3 weeks.
Ginger should be potted in a high quality, potting soil. All gingers respond well to being repotted in the spring.
The most they should ever need is an occasional light shower to wash the dust from their leaves.Cut off spent blooms when they no longer look good.
How do I care for ginger in the winter? Let it experience night time temperatures in the upper 50ºs for about a week. Then bring it in and keep it in a cool place that stays around 60ºF. Water it only when the pot is dry when you push your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle. Do not feed it. Begin watering normally again in late March and bring the plant into your heated living space to play houseplant until it can go out in May.
