HELICONIA and GINGER Plant CARE

Spacing If heliconia are planted together space them at least 4 apart. Psittacorum should be planted 1 apart for mass flowering effect. Gingers should have 5 spacing. Soil preparation Dig the soil 1 in diameter for heliconia and ginger planting. Psittacorum can be smaller. Good black/ red soil mixed with dried manure and compost are good. Planting The rhizomes should be planted not more than 6 deep. Do not heap soil at the base as leaves sprout from the rhizome. Watering Water well after planting. Then only when the soil is drying out. Once the leaves have sprouted water well and ensure there is no stagnation around the base of the plant. Growth Heliconia and gingers should start sprouting leaves wit
