What it is
Also called greater galangal or Thai ginger, this relative of ginger is grown mostly in Asia. Its rhizomes are paler and more fibrous than ginger's, with creamy white flesh.

Harvest in Houston
For fresh use, harvest the rhizomes about four months after planting, or they get very fibrous.
UF/IFAS EDIS EP638Container tips
Can be grown in containers or in the ground. Start with disease-free rhizomes, which can be pre-sprouted on humid potting mix at about 82°F. Keep the soil moderately moist and feed at a moderate to high rate. Give it some shade to cut stress, but not so much that the rhizomes grow less.
