Plant & Seeds

Shampoo Ginger is a tall erect, herbaceous plant with pseudo stems growing in clumps. The height of the plant is up to 0.6–2 m tall and is normally found growing in rain forests, thickets, beaches, mangroves, wet roadsides, stream and river banks, shaded forest areas, forest margins, brushwood, mixed forests, teak forests and waste places near villages. The plant prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil rich in humus. The leaves and inflorescences of the pinecone ginger arise from a thick knobby rhizome that grows just under the surface of the soil.
