How to Harvest Ginger
✅ For Partial Harvests:

Gently dig around the edge of the pot.
-
Break off a section of the root and cover the rest—so it keeps growing.
✅ For Full Harvest:
-
Remove the plant from the pot.
-
Shake off soil, rinse the roots, and set aside pieces for replanting.
🧊 How to Store Freshly Harvested Ginger

Short-Term: Wrap in a paper towel and store in the fridge (up to 2 weeks).
-
Long-Term: Peel, slice, and freeze; or dry and grind into powder.
-

💡 Extra Tips for Success

Ginger prefers warm, humid conditions. If you’re in a cooler climate, bring the pot indoors during winter.
