Harvesting And Storing Ginger Once the ginger plants have matured, you can start harvesting. Gently dig around the plant to unearth the rhizomes. Take what you need and leave some rhizomes in the soil to continue growing. Remember to replant for a continuous supply. To store harvested ginger, wash and dry the rhizomes thoroughly. Store them in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them in a paper towel inside a plastic bag. This helps retain their freshness for several weeks. As your ginger plants grow, they will develop more rhizomes. You can separate these rhizomes and replant them to expand your ginger garden or share with fellow gardening enthusiasts.
