I'm starting an experimental planting in my window sill and will track the results here.
Ginger takes a relatively long time to sprout from rhizome cuttings, up to six weeks.
It is a shallow rooting plant, so you don't need deep pots, my tray is about 6 inches deep, 15in X 24in. and has 4 inches of well aged compost which has been used to grow sweet bell peppers. The peppers are now done and I'm replanting a set of ginger buds from a package purchased at the 99cent store...
This article has some basic advice on how to do this, if you want to attempt it also:
