Because ginger is a warm, cold-resistant and frost-resistant vegetable. /kloc-the temperature will gradually decrease in October, and the cold weather will appear frequently in the later period. After planting, tubers may be frozen and the survival rate will be reduced. The suitable planting time of ginger is around Tomb-Sweeping Day every year.

Maintenance of ginger

Ginger is a shade-tolerant plant with hot weather. After emergence, it needs to be properly covered with mulch. You can interplant some vegetables in the field to cover it. These vegetables grow rapidly, which can block the young ginger and kill two birds with one stone.

The root system of ginger is underdeveloped and it is very sensitive to soil moisture. So control the soil moisture and water it every time until the soil is completely wet. If the plants are cultivated outdoors, they should be protected from waterlogging in rainy season, and drainage ditches should be dug underground to avoid soil water accumulation. Ginger only needs topdressing with potash fertilizer, because potash fertilizer can promote root growth, but potash fertilizer cannot be used directly, and it needs to be diluted before use, that is, potash fertilizer water, and the fertilization frequency is once a month.
