Jamaican ginger is considered by many to be the best in the world and is used extensively here both as a culinary spice and as a home remedy for a long list of maladies. Many historical references exist regarding the use of ginger in many old societies. Now modern science has isolated the powerful compounds found in ginger, and documented their use in a wide range of health disorders.
common names & nomenclature
The genus name zingiber is from Old English gingifer, from Medieval Latin gingiber, from Latin zingiberi, from Greek zingiberis.
Ginger will do better the closer you can come to replicating its tropical natural home. Warm temperatures in the 70° to 90°F (21° to 32°C) range, moisture, rich and loamy soil, and a little dappled shade make ginger happiest. It should be planted with protection from strong winds. Also, ginger cannot tolerate standing water or completely drying out.
Ginger does very well in a hoop house, greenhouse, or conservatory if you are so lucky. Plant it under the shelter of a taller crop like your hothouse tomatoes to give it a break from the intense sun
Ginger can also be grown well in large containers and is particularly suited to grow bags. The rhizomes grow wide rather than deep, so a container with a large diameter is required–at least 12 inches wide for a single plant.
Ginger is a perennial root of the plant Zingiber officinale (of the Zingiberaceae family) which creeps and increases underground, in tuberous joints; in the spring it sends up from its roots a green reed, like a stalk, 2 feet high, with narrow lanceolate leaves; these die down annually. The flowering stalk rises directly from the root, ending in an oblong scallop spike; from each spike a white or yellow bloom grows.
