Feedback

Wild ginger requires about 3-6 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. However, it also needs some shade during the hottest parts of the day to prevent sun damage. Morning sunlight is ideal for Wild ginger, but it can also tolerate some afternoon sun if the temperature is not too hot. To provide the perfect balance of sunlight, try planting Wild ginger in an area that gets partial sun, such as under a tree or on the east side of a building.
