You can plant a piece of fresh root ginger and it will sprout leaves and eventually grow more roots.

Buy a nice clean smooth looking 'hand' of ginger and select the youngest freshest looking 'finger'. Plant it in multipurpose compost in a medium to large plant pot, just burying in beneath the surface. Water and keep in a warmish light place - indoors in winter, outside or in a greenhouse in summer.

It makes a nice pot plant and may even flower! When it becomes pot bound, use the roots in the kitchen or plant them up to make more plants.

If they get too damp and cold in the winter they rot and won't survive - that's what happened to mine.
