I received my order directly at the nursery. I immediately pointed out that the rootstocks were stunted, already dried out and even mouldy in some places. They refused to exchange them but assured me (if I remember correctly, Laetitia) that they would take them back. To this day, the rootstocks are completely dried out and no return seems possible. Thank you for considering my comment for a potential refund. I can send you the photos taken on the day of receiving the rootstocks if needed. Best regards.

Ginger produces tasty and spicy roots with a lemony taste. Originally from Asia, it has been used for a long time for its culinary qualities and medicinal properties. Plant the rhizomes in spring for a harvest 6 to 9 months later. Ginger is mainly grown in pots, but it can be grown in open ground in regions with hot summers.
It is originally from Asia. Ginger belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which has over a hundred species. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word 'shringavera', meaning 'in the shape of a deer's antler'. Ginger will develop large leaves about 1m (3ft) tall. Flowering takes the form of highly fragrant red flowers. The blooms appear in summer, but not always in our climates.
In terms of cooking, ginger brings a lemony and spicy touch to dishes. It is commonly used as a spice in Asian cuisine, especially Indian cuisine. Grated, chopped, or sliced, ginger adds flavour to savory dishes as well as desserts. Use it to flavour broths, meats, fish, or sauces. The flavour will be milder if you add it at the end of cooking. It also adds aroma to cakes or tea.
Ginger is grown in pots. It can sometimes be grown in the vegetable garden, in open ground or under cover depending on the climate. This tropical plant likes heat and humidity.
Harvesting: ginger is harvested when the stems dry out and turn yellow. This is usually 8 to 9 months after planting, or as early as 6 months if you prefer a less spicy and more lemony taste. For open ground cultivation, gently dig up the roots with a garden fork. Let them dry in the sun for a few days. In the vegetable garden, the harvest should be completed before the frosts arrive.
Storage: consume freshly harvested ginger to fully enjoy its fragrance. However, the roots can be stored for several months in a dry place or in a freezer. Over time, their taste becomes spicier.
Gardener's tip: apply mulch around the plants to keep the soil moist and reduce the need for watering.
Harvest
Plant habit
Foliage
Ginger needs warmth, humidity, and gentle light to grow. It is mainly cultivated in pots, but can be grown in open ground in regions with hot summers. It requires high temperatures, around 25°C (77°F).
Plant in pots in spring, from March to June. For planting in open ground, start germination in February-March and transplant into the ground when the soil is sufficiently warm in May. Ginger thrives in light and well-drained soils. It prefers a sunny or semi-shaded exposure.
In a pot
Choose a large and deep pot, at least 30cm (12in) in diameter. Place gravel or clay pellets at the bottom to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of compost and sand. Place the root and bury it in the soil halfway, with the part with buds under the soil. Water to keep the soil moist. Excessive watering will rot the root. Keep the pot in a humid and warm atmosphere (around 25°C (77°F)). Once the shoots have developed well, increase the frequency of watering. Place it outdoors in summer, in a bright location but without direct sunlight, and bring it indoors before winter frosts.
In open ground
First, germinate the ginger in a glass of water. Place the root in a glass of water, with the root submerged halfway. When the first shoots emerge and the roots appear, transplant the plants, either in open ground if the soil is sufficiently warm, or in pots while waiting for higher temperatures. When the shoots have developed well, increase the frequency of watering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
