Ginseng is a long-known medicinal plant for a variety of ailments, which is also used to maintain normal human vitality. But this plant is rare – overseas, not everyone can afford it, but meanwhile, because you can grow ginseng at home. But strangely enough, few take it. Either from ignorance, or even why.
Everyone knows that at home, ginseng grows much faster than on the street.
Ginseng does not like excess moisture at all – from this it becomes decrepit and from direct sunlight – it perishes. Ginseng is propagated by seeds, which are sown in pots about 5 cm deep. Pots with seeds should be placed on the windowsill, but only so that the sun can illuminate the plant until 10 am or after 17 hours.
All the rest of the time, direct rays of the sun to the plant are contraindicated. That is why you need to make a small darkening from one layer of gauze for pots. If possible, pots with a plant should stand on the north, northwest or northeast side of the windowsill.
During the growing season of ginseng, it needs fresh air – through a window or through a window leaf at least. Drafts are not allowed here. In summer and spring, watering such a plant should be moderate. The humidity in the apartment where the ginseng plant is located should not exceed 75-80%.
But when autumn comes, the ginseng in the pots is rearranged in small wooden boxes, sprinkled with peat and put out for the whole winter on the balcony, without forgetting to attach pieces of the film so that snow and excess moisture do not get in – rain.
Somewhere in the middle of the month of April, boxes with ginseng are brought into the room and placed in the same place where the pots with seeds stood before – on the windowsill. When four years have passed, the ginseng roots will already be suitable for use in the form of tinctures, for the manufacture of ointments and extracts, decoctions.
