Hi Jennifer
I also planted some grocery store ginger.  Its about a year old, 16-18"
tall, single stalk.  Not a sign of a bloom.  Wonder if its not getting
enough light, however I grow it with my orchids using ott 4 ott lights.
I'm a bit of a newbie to tropicals but am learning.  Hope someone else
has some experience to pass along.

Good growing,
