Ginger needs the right growing conditions to thrive, if not it might just sprout top growth initially.
Essentially it needs rich, loamy soil with plenty of added organic material to be happy. The soil must be kept moist, but it doesn't like to be overwatered.
Light conditions are also important for good growth, that means around 4-5 hours of direct sun per day and bright shade for the rest of the day.
