How to fertilize Beehive Ginger

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Beehive Ginger after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

When should I take the stems off #BitterGinger

Soil is still moist, but not waterlogged I know this is a moisture loving species but I’m a bit afraid to overwater. What is everyone else’s experience with this plant when it comes to its watering needs?

Holy moly. This is my shampoo pine cone plant or bitter gingerplant. I planted this from a ribzone in the fall of 2022.... I thought i killed it im spring of 2023. so I planted basil on top of ribzones....after the basil died I saw these crazy big leafs.I was SO happy. they grew pretty good that summer but my cats would not leave it along. I brought it in for the winter and just prayed she would live. This spring i put wire around her and she started with the 2 tallest stacks....then....2 weeks ago I noticed 2 more Stocks and today I noticed another...I just reported her about 2 months ago...will she still grow health in this pot until I bring her in for the winter and I will split the ribzones and repot them.... or should I get her a bigger pot NOW? I am really really really hoping she grows the cones this year!
