'Sprouting' dormant Rhizomes early

| A few months ago I sent My grandfather a dormant tumeric rhizome. As he is an impatient person (and lives out of the tropics), he decided to attempt to give it a push by placing it in his bean sprouter and see what happens. It actually produced shoots and is now doing quite well planted out. He was trying his ginger (edible) next.
Sounds like a bean sprouter could be quite a useful thing to have around when propagating. I guess it would work for most seeds as well. |

| Hi Tropi, yes it could work in the cooler climes,but not much use to us in our present 20 one day 37 next back to 23 than next 39 temps poor plants don't know weather to grow , flower, fruit, shoot or die. But if it works for you, why not.? Good luck. Peter r |
