☀️ My Little Ginger Harvest [ENG/ESP]☀️
What's up #HiveGarden friends, hope you are doing well.
I have a ginger plant planted in a pot since I don't have enough space to plant my plants, my yard is cemented for that reason I am reluctant to have more plants in my house. Some time ago I planted a ginger plant in a pot. One fine day on March 7th I was watering my plants that are usually ferns that I have planted in pots as well and of course my ginger plant, I noticed that the leaves were a little dry at the tips, I thought it was because of the inclement sun that is beating our city in these months, I was a little worried and I was attentive to water it more frequently.
The days passed and my ginger plant did not show any improvement even though I was watering it with abundant water. I usually water my plants in the morning or at night, but I watered it twice a day of course without overdoing it, since I was researching and the plant should be in a place where it gets sunlight, but it should also receive some shade and should not be soaked with water, also the soil should have a part of sand.
After this little research I realized that my plant was always in a place where it only got direct sunlight since I have no leafy trees to provide shade for my plants.
Here I show the before and after photo. The first photo is from March 07 and the second one is from March 22, you can see the difference in the color of the leaves drying slowly
15 days passed and on March 22 the plant had the driest leaves, so I decided to take out the gingers since my brother in law Leobaldo, told me that he had a ginger plant, he investigated and when the leaves started to dry it was because we had to harvest the ginger, but I doubted a little of what he was telling me because I saw one of these plants at my friend Amparo's house some time ago and it was very tall, almost my size and it was in good condition and very green. But unlike my plant my friend's was planted in the ground and its roots had enough room to expand.
I pulled the first one out I was pretty excited first time I harvested jengribe.
I took out the ginger before the plant dried out, to my surprise the root of the ginger was coming out from under the pot which means that the roots were very tight and that's why it was drying out.
Once I harvested the ginger I noticed that at the end there were several roots left and I thought I could find more ginger there, but no, they were only root remnants
I removed the ginger branches and placed them on the ground while I continued to remove the others that remained in the pot, then I removed the stems and cleaned them well.
The ginger I use it in the kitchen as a medicinal plant as the elaboration of some home remedies especially when we have flu.estoy experiimentando add ginger to my dishes and really le a special touch and that aroma that gives off is unique.
The photos are my own and were taken with my Xiaomi Redmi 7A cell phone.
I edited the photos with PowerPoint

Qué tal amigos de #HiveGarden, espero se encuentren bien.
Tengo una planta de jengibre sembrada en una maceta ya que no cuento con suficiente espacio para sembrar mis plantas, mi patio está encementado por ese motivo me cohíbo de tener más plantas en mi casa. Hace algún tiempo sembré una planta de jengibre en una maceta. Un buen día el 7 de marzo estaba regando mis plantas que generalmente son helechos que tengo sembrado en macetas también y por supuesto mi planta de jengibre, observe que las hojas estaban un poco secas en las puntas, llegue a pensar que era por el sol inclemente que esta azotando nuestra ciudad en estos meses, me preocupo un poco y estuve atenta para regarla con más frecuencia.
Los días pasaron y mi planta de jengibre no presentaba mejoría a pesar de que la estaba regando con abundante agua. Generalmente riego mis plantas por la mañana o por las noches, pero a ella la regué dos veces al día claro sin excederme, ya que estuve investigando y la planta debe estar en un lugar donde le de los rayos del sol, pero también debe recibir un poco de sombra y no debe estar empapada de agua, además la tierra debe tener una parte de arena.
Después de esta pequeña investigación me di cuenta que mi planta siempre estuvo en un lugar donde solo le daban los rayos del sol de forma directa ya que no tengo árboles frondosos que les proporcionen sombra a mis plantas.
Aquí muestro la foto del antes y después. La primera foto es del día 07 de marzo y la segunda es del día 22 de marzo, se puede observar la diferencia en el color de las hojas secándose poco a poco
Pasaron 15 días y el 22 de marzo la planta tenia las hojas más secas, así que decidí sacar los jengibres ya que mi cuñado Leobaldo, me dijo que él tenía una planta de jengibre, él investigó y cuando las hojas se comenzaban a secar era porque teníamos que cosechar el jengibre, pero yo dudaba un poco de lo que él me estaba diciendo porque yo vi una planta de estas en casa a mi amiga Amparo hace algún tiempo y era muy alta, casi de mi tamaño y estaba en buenas condiciones y muy verde. Pero a diferencia de mi planta la de mi amiga estaba sembrada en el suelo y sus raíces tenían suficiente espacio para expandirse.
Saque el primero estaba bien emocionada primera vez que cosecho jengribe
Saque os jengibres antes de que la planta se secara, para mi sorpresa la raíz del jengibre estaba saliendo por debajo de la maceta lo qué quiere decir es que tenía las raíces muy apretadas por eso era que se estaba secando
Una vez que coseché el jengibre me di cuenta que al final quedaron varias raíces y pensé que allí podía encontrar más jengibre, pero no, solo eran restos de raíces
Saqué las ramas de jengibre y la fui colocando en el suelo mientras continuaba sacando las otras que quedaban en la maceta luego les quité el tallo y los limpiamos bien
El jengibre lo utilizo en la cocina como planta medicinal como la elaboracion de algunos remedios casero sobre todo cuando tenemos gripe.Estoy experiimentando agregar jengibre a mis platillos y en verdad le un toque especial y ese aroma que desprende es unico

The harvest was good, ginger is a plant with many goodness, I use it frequently in my kitchen to season meats, it is exquisite. A big hug 🤗
Yes, the harvest was good, I hope that the next harvest will be better because I will plant ginger in a small space of land that I have in my yard, when planted in the ground the roots have better space to grow.
I appreciate your comment.
I'm glad I came across your post as I've never seen a ginger plant before. It's not common her due to the colder climate and have never bothered to check how it looks like, I only see the routs in the grocery store. Nice harvest.
@erikah, I am so glad that through my publication you were able to get to know the ginger plant, how flattering. This tuber always caught my attention because of the characteristics of its root. My mother planted it at home when I was little, I remember that its size was almost my size.
A hug, and happy day
Awwws very nice
Hello @ismaelrd04, yes, it's very nice and rewarding for me to do this harvesting
greetings
I love to grow ginger especially in europe by just planting one bought at the market, and harvest multiple from the plant it has grown! It makes a little tropical vibe in the european climate and grows so fast and abundantly :) I just wish I could see one bloom one day, as they look splendid!! The same for curcuma 😍
Hi, @housecatharsia the ginger I harvested was also purchased at the market, from one root several more multiplied.
I have not seen a ginger plant bloom, I am going to ask a neighbor who has a large plant in her garden and ask her about it, hopefully she will have a flower and capture the image.
greetings :)
That would be lovely! 😊 Have a great day!
