In spring, when repotting, see if a rhizome has several eyes or new young shoots; if so, slice it up so each piece has an eye and set of roots. Put each in a pot filled with multi-purpose compost and stand in the warmth. Water gently at first, then increasingly as growth begins. Don't plant until after the last of the frosts. You can also grow good-sized plants from seed to flowering in one season. The seeds are black, about the size of a small pea, and very hard. Soak them overnight before using. Sow in a small pot of soilless seed compost and put in a propagator heated to about 23?°C (73?°F). They should come up after a few weeks. Once this happens, pot them up and grow them on.
