How to Sow and Plant

Use stratified seeds for the best germination.
Plant 1–2 cm deep in moist, rich woodland soil.
Choose a shaded location with filtered light.
Maintain consistently moist (not soggy) soil.
Germination may take months due to natural dormancy.

How to Grow

Provide full shade or dappled sun.
Keep soil cool, rich, and consistently moist.
Add leaf mulch to mimic natural forest floor conditions.
Protect plants from harsh sunlight and strong winds.
Harvest roots only after 3–5 years for best potency.

Tips

Avoid planting in hot, dry areas.
Mulching helps maintain moisture and temperature.
Ginseng grows best in slightly acidic soil.
Patience is important—the roots grow slowly but become highly valuable.
