Noriko Anderson –
Hello Richo
Just put myself to the waiting list for Myoga ! I am very excited to hear from you. I am in Maryland. I believe that’s a zone 7 but we do get heavy snow during the winter. Do you recommend to plan them as potted and brought in for the winter ? Thank you.

Richo Cech –
Hello Noriko,
I’m surprised these are already sold out but there are more of them coming on. yes, z 7 is at the bottom end of the hardiness of this plant and it would be prudent to pot them up and bring inside for the winter. r

Edible Acres (back East) has kept these down to -13*F for 5 years with minimal loss. They have also had them exposed to heavy deer browsing with zero interest of the deer.

Hi Gordon – I grow myoga on Maui – the summer sun is intense and summer temps are in the low 90’s. When I first planted I kept the container in diffused light conditions but it hardly grew. Then I moved it to a sunny spot and it grew like crazy. From what I’ve read it can over winter in a milder winter climate but I don’t know if it will survive the 110+ degrees in Arizona. If you plant it in a container you could move it around depending on the seasons.

I received this healthy plant over two years ago and have grown it successfully as a potted plant since. It enjoys a somewhat shady location in the greenhouse in the summer and comes inside the house before the temp dips below 50F. It goes dormant shortly thereafter (for those in the cool north, don’t panic it’s not dying!), is watered infrequently throughout the winter and reliably sprouts with many more shoots when the sun and warmth return in the spring (dividing and/or up-potting necessary almost every year). A very deep green and attractive plant…still waiting for it to produce buds to put in sushi or to enjoy the flower…hopefully this year!

Wil E Sideman –
Hello when is it possible to order for spring time delivery in Massachusetts?
(0) (0)
Admin Richo Cech –
Hello Wil,
Thanks for staying in touch. I updated the inventory on Myopga for you so you can order right now. In general on our website, the plants that we’ll be offering in the spring won’t be completely updated to the net until the new catalog goes out after the first of the year. So after that time is a really good window for browsing and ordering. We won’t start shipping to the warmer states until March 15th, and most orders won’t be shipped until mid-april. We’re trying to be pragmatic about all this–we want people to order so they get their foot in the door, but we don’t want to sell something we don’t have, and we don’t want the plants to ship out until the weather warms up a bit.

Yuko Hatajiri (verified owner) –
I’ve just ordered two plants. I live in Chicago. Do you suggest that I plant these in a pot and bring to indoor in winter ? If so, should I keep water in winter?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Admin Richo Cech –
Hello Yuko,
YEs, Myoga is outdoor hardy to zone 6 to 12, so in a Chicago Zone 5 you would want to grow it as a potted plant and bring in for the winter. They do need occasional watering when dormant. They do grow well in pots and I have often see them flower in pots.

Ilene –
How quickly will they have buds? Do I have to wait few years? Also can they be grown indoor? Because Georgia weather gets too cold or too warm…
if not, do you sell myouga buds only during harvesting season?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Admin Richo Cech –
Hello Ilene,
The gingers basically like tropical shade and so a good indoor growing facility can work well for them. We sell the plants, not the buds. Myoga ginger is easy to grow, matures quickly and if given the right conditions makes buds the first year.

When do you pick the myoga to use?

Admin Richo Cech –
The turgid flower buds are the part used, you pick them when they appear at the base of the plant. They occur with some frequency. We had a prolific show of these this year in August. r

Is the yoga ginger you offer the variegated type (Dancing Crane)? Which is better to grow, the all green or the variegated plant?
(0) (0)
Admin Richo Cech –
Hello there, Our Myoga is the standard type, not a variegated type. I admit I don’t much like variegated cultivars, they tend to indicate human meddling and plants need all the photosynthesis they can get. Richo

I am from Japan and have been searching for the Myoga plants in the U.S.
I was very glad to find that you grow Ginger Myoga plants.
I ordered two plants and they were delivered promptly to my house in Wisconsin. I was very excited to open the package and found two very nice- looking Myoga plants. I planted in pots and they are now growing very healthy.
Arogatou!!
Thank you very much for your service. I am so happy to find Myoga plants.

do these die back in the fall?
(0) (0)
Admin Richo Cech –
Yes, if freezing weather is encountered, the myoga will die back to the crown and if it gets too cold, it may be winter killed, also. In the tropics the plant is evergreen.

Crystal –
Richo, can the ginger-ey buds be dried and used in a tea? If so, would there be a significant difference between this bud and root of Zingiber officinale?
Thanks so much for your time!
(0) (0)
Admin Richo Cech –
Hiu Crystal,
I don’t know, but now I want to try it! The buds are composed of sheafs of tissue and I think they would dry down well if you separated them. They are more highly perfumed than ginger root, they would be a bit different I think.

Marie (verified owner) –
Our myoga plants are doing well in year three since buying from you. We are in 7b and I found that the outdoor potful died (rotted) while the one I overwintered indoors was fine. I repot every year, and have plenty to give away at this point. Your plants produced buds the very first fall after we planted them, and last year we had two fall crops. Such fun. Thank you!

Richo Cech –
Hi Marie, Your comments underline for me the value of not putting all your eggs in one basket. On this side, for instance, I might make a 60-plant planting in the field, and then put 3 plants in an entirely different spot, just to check environmental effects. You’re a smart gardener.
