I really haven’t dealt with it in pots, but we have a very serious dry season here so plants can go even 2 months without a drink and still come back. Other years, they may get a splash now and again and also come back just fine. How much of such ability is due to natural partnerships in a natural soil that may be missing in a Northern pot????? And, I haven’t paid attention to differences in productivity under such varying conditions. (Gave up formal plantings of turmeric (for at least a while) and have gone Fukuoka style.) I think I’d try letting a few potted ones go dry for a few weeks, then start watering. And, I’d also experiment with variations, but avoiding for at least a while, the sumptuous watering that so inspires turmeric rebirth (and rot if soil conditions wrong).

Karen, how much water should be applied to potted ginger during the die-back period? I did water that plant some; but don't know whether it would have done better or worse if I'd let it dry entirely for a while.
