Bitter ginger, also known as Pinecone ginger, Zerumbet ginger, Broad-leaved ginger, Wild ginger, Awapuhi
Bitter ginger is a tropical perennial plant that thrives in warm, humid conditions and prefers partial to full sunlight. It requires consistently moist soil but is prone to root rot, so well-draining soil is a must. One special care point for bitter ginger is that while it can tolerate short periods of drought, regular watering is crucial for its optimal growth. Another is to provide a high-potassium fertilizer during its growing season for lush foliage and healthy blooms.
