Boesenbergia Pandurata: Chinese Fingerroot


Got this stuff .... looks interesting.  It's in the Zingiberaceae ginger family, so it's probably relatively easy to grow.  It's also called Chinese Fingerroot.


Here it it coming up a couple of weeks after being put in soil:

Sorry for rotate.  You can see one spike in each pot
Took a few more days, but it got here:

Much more obviously a ginger type
It looks like it's closer to curcuma/turmeric than zingiber/ginger.

A week later:


So it's probably not going to be nearly as large as turmeric plants.

But still interesting to see.
