Young Ginger Plant
Not strictly gardening but ....... I have managed to grow a piece of root ginger to about a foot high. There are alternate leaves on each side, the 9th one just appearing. So, what do I do with it now and what can I expect from it? Thanks a lot.

They need good light, warmth and humidity, not easy to produce in a UK winter. Might be worth trying again in spring on a warm window sil and then growing it outside in a nice sunny spot once the risk of frost has gone.
Good luck, mine only ever reached about 12" high then just gave up.
