Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

Select plump, healthy rhizomes with visible buds.
Cut large rhizomes into smaller pieces, each with at least one or two buds.
Sowing:

Plant rhizome pieces 2-3 inches deep in the soil with buds facing upwards.
Space rhizomes 12-18 inches apart in rows or beds.
Germination:

Maintain a consistent soil temperature between 70-95°F (21-35°C) for optimal germination.
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings to larger pots or directly into the garden once they have several leaves and are about 4-6 inches tall.
Ensure the final location has good drainage and receives adequate sunlight.
Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest rhizomes 8-10 months after planting, once the leaves and stems start to yellow and die back.
