Growing galangal (blue ginger) from rhizomes
>> Monday, April 30, 2007
I cut off this piece of galangal from my plant this morning to cook beef rendang.
The two little galangal rhizomes at the top can be snapped off for planting. Grow them in well drained soil. They are quite easy to grow. I grow them outside and they have managed to survive our winters.

The highly scented white flowers appear in April.

Hi Russ,
Which part of NZ are you at?
Wow, fresh galangal! I'm so fed up with the tasteless frozen ones. Do you sell the plant? I live in East Auckland and my email is vlimyy@yahoo.com.
Thanks
Hi Vicky,
At the moment, I haven't grown any for sale.
Hi Vicky,
I am unable to reach you through your email. If you are still interested in getting the plant, I have some for sale now.
Leave me your email address and I will get back to you.
For anyone in NZ interested in growing galangal in your own backyard, I have some for sale now.
Please leave me your email here and I will get back to you.
Hi, I found your blog by googling. My family and I planning to move to auckland next year. It's nice to know that you can plant ginger there. Could you teach me how to grow them?
Is it also possible to grow other kind of rhizoma spices, like turmeric/curcumin etc?
thanks a lot! :)
