Comments (1)No they are not the same ginger but they are related. The blooming ones are often called Butterfly Gingers and the spice one is usually called Ginger Root or Edible Ginger. If you want to grow your own ginger just buy some roots at the grocery store and keep them moist and warm and they usually sprout. Plant them in a pot during the winter and use them as a house plant then put them in the ground (on the surface, not buried deep) in the late spring. By late summer you will have all the ginger you'd ever want....See Moreedible ginger...
Comments (8)My 'super market' ginger was damaged by the cold snap, too. But when I dumped the pot, there was good, viable ginger root growing - the cold damaged parts were at or near the surface. I 'planted' and lost a dozen pieces of ginger before I discovered one doesn't 'plant' ginger; one simply makes a slight depression in the soil and sets the piece of ginger root in it. Keep it moist and in a week or two, you will see signs of growth. Being this far north, I plant in pots in order to move them to shelter during cold snaps....See Moreedible ginger growing but leaves aren't unfurling
Comments (2)The problem is you are growing gingers indoors. Put them outside. Very likely the problem you have is due to low humidity inside the house. If it is too dry the edges will dry out and more or less fuse together keeping the leaves from unfurling. Check out this link for a page on growing edible gingers. www.gingerwoodnursery.com click on the articles tab and then click on the edible ginger faq. -Kyle...See Moreedible ginger root?
Comments (1)zingiber officinale (the ginger rhizome you'll commonly find) and alpinia galanga both are edible. Cardamom and turmeric are close relatives. I don't have pics, I grew a ginger rhizome into a big pretty pot of fragrant foliage. It is budded but still waiting to see the flowers :)....See Morekeiki
