Water regularly, and apply mulch to retain moisture. With a little care and maintenance, you’ll have a thriving shampoo ginger plant.
Harvesting the rhizomes is simple. After 12-18 months, when the plant’s leaves begin to die back, gently dig around the base of the plant to expose the rhizomes. Carefully pull them from the soil, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. The rhizomes are relatively pest-resistant but watch out for common garden pests like aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites.
