Farmer’s Method: Cultivating Ginger and Lemongrass at Home
Ginger Cultivation:
Begin with a clean, washed piece of ginger.
Divide it into halves and place in a glass bowl or dish.
Add water and cover with a damp cloth.
Allow it a week to develop roots. If unsuccessful, repeat the process.
Once roots are visible, plant the ginger in a pot with soil and watch new ginger plants emerge.
Lemongrass Multiplication:
Trim the thin parts underneath the lemongrass stems with a knife.
Arrange separate pitchers filled with water for each stem.
After several days, roots should begin to form.
Upon root development, plant the stems in soil, enabling you to have a continuous supply of lemongrass.
