Thanks for your help. >>
Plant it in an 8 to 12 inch pot . Use regular potting soil. Lay the
gingerroot hand flat on the surface of the soil and work it down so the top
is flush with the surface of the soil much like you would plant an iris.
Water when the surface of the soil drys out. Set the plant in a sunny
location. It will make more roots as it gets larger and you might be rewarded
with small yellow and red orchidlike flowers. When the pot breaks or the
plant pushes itself out of the contaner , repot into a larger pot. You will
have fresh gimgerroot in a few months for the harvesting. :-)
