I bought a ginger plant at Farmleight plant fair yesterday thinking i could grow it outside in my “tropical plant style” bed but have found it hard to find any information on the plant and what little i have found seems to indicate that it IS a tropical plant that likes warmth and humidity which obviously i can’t provide here on the canal in Dublin i.e. windy and grey and rainy. Could you tell me please whether or not i can grow it outside? If not as i don’t have a greenhouse would it be ok in a bathroom that gets a lot of light and which is centrally heated but i could keep bowls of water around and spray it regularly?? i’d be upset if i couldn’t keep it as its a beautiful plant and i paid 25 euro for it!
