drdawg said:David, I don't know. I have never overwintered any of my ginger inside before. I am going to leave them as is, in their pots, and water when the soil dries out. I don't know whether they will naturally go dormant since the temperature will be suited for my orchids and other tropical plants.


So they will be in a GH and you never did this before? You simply left them in the ground?

I am thinking now that maybe I should have just left my Turmeric in is pot and put it in my grow area. But I did find that my rootstock increased by a factor of 4 or so. Green Grin!

I am thinking that I will just bring my store bought and 2 fancy ones to my grow area and let them do what they want. Big Grin Just give em enough water to keep em alive. Surely they will go at least semi-dormant.
