Vu Nu ginger is known as a ornamental plant with unique flower shapes and bright colors. With cool autumn weather, it is very suitable for growing plants at home, housewives can refer to simple steps to care for Vu Nu ginger plants at home.
Prepare bulbs, substrate
The first and most important step is to choose ginger bulbs that are relatively large, not diseased or rotten. Cut ginger bulbs into small branches with 1 to 2 seed eyes, then sprinkle lime powder or kitchen ash on the cut to avoid fungal infection.
At the same time, the planting substrate needs to be loose, mixing meat soil, earthworm manure and coconut fiber in appropriate proportions to ensure good drainage capacity, avoiding waterlogging of the root system.
Sow bulbs, pay attention to sunlight
Place the seed bulb deep underground about 3 to 4cm, point the seed eye upwards and then cover with a thin layer of humus. If planting on the terrace, pay attention to sunlight, especially harsh sunlight in the middle of the day, so you should place the pot under a sunshade or behind large potted plants.
The location that receives dispersed light for 4 to 6 hours a day will help ginger sprouts grow quickly without dehydration.
Watering, protecting plants from the wind
The cool air of autumn causes temperatures to drop and this is also the reason why the amount of water evaporates slower than in summer. Housewives should only water when the soil surface starts to dry out, about once every 2 to 3 days depending on the weather.
It is necessary to place the pot in a windproof place or fix the stem with small stakes to prevent wind from shaking the base and damaging the young roots. After about 6 - 8 weeks, dandelion ginger will bloom brightly.
