- 1). Plant your Hawaiian red ginger plant in an area in full sun with the rhizome laying on its side. (The points along the rhizome should be facing upwards.)
- 2). Cover the rhizome with rich, well-drained soil. The rhizome does not need to be planted deeply. Use just enough soil to cover it.
- 3). Water frequently. You do not want the Hawaiian red ginger plant to become soggy, which is why it is important to use soil that drains well. However, you also do not want it to ever dry out between waterings. This plant needs to be kept evenly moist at all times.
- 4). Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer. Hawaiian red ginger plants will bloom year-round if given the right conditions. This means that they need a regular supply of nutrients to replace those used for its blooming efforts.
- 5). Do not allow your Hawaiian red ginger plant to be exposed to temperatures below 45-degrees Fahrenheit. This means that if you live in an area that is outside zone 9 where temperatures can dip lower than will suit your Hawaiian red ginger plant, you need to plant it in a large container. Start with a one-gallon size; however, you will have to transplant it into a larger container in about 6-8 weeks. This plant grows incredibly fast. It can be left outdoors during the summer months; although, you should bring it into the house before the temperatures drop. It can be over-wintered indoors, but you should give it a sunny spot or a grow-light to keep it happy.
