Boesenbergia siphonantha is a wild potential ornamental ginger endemic to Andaman Islands, India was selected for the current study. The rhizomes were collected and stored at 15 0 C for 8 months during March to October. The sprouted rhizomes after chilling treatment were planted at regular interval and sprouted plants were transferred to green house with controlled light during night hours using incandescent lamp to extend flower production from December to March.
