Panax quinquefolius aka American Ginseng

American Ginseng requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

American Ginseng should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

American Ginseng loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

The growth of American Ginseng is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

American Ginseng’s native range is Eastern N. America - Maine to Georgia, west to Oklahoma and Minnesota.
