Ginseng growth environment conditions and characteristics

Ginseng Growth Environmental Conditions and Requirements

Ginseng is a plant that is commonly found in deciduous broad-leaved forests and coniferous broad-leaved forests at low altitudes. It is a shade-loving plant that likes to grow in a cool and humid environment. It hates direct sunlight and prefers weaker scattered light.

Ginseng Growth Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for ginseng is 15-25℃. When the temperature is lower than 10℃ or higher than 30℃, the plant will enter a dormant state. When the temperature is lower than -6℃, ginseng will stop growing.

Ginseng growth humidity

Ginseng does not have strict requirements for water during its growth process. It only needs to control the air temperature at around 45-50%. If it grows in an environment with excessive humidity for a long time, the roots of the plant will rot.

Ginseng growing soil

Ginseng prefers loose, well-ventilated and well-drained soil. The most suitable pH value is between 5.5-6.5. Clay soil and alkaline soil are not suitable for growing ginseng.

Ginseng growth cycle and process

The growth rate of ginseng is relatively slow. Generally, it starts to sprout in April or May of the year after planting, enters the flowering period in May or June, and the fruit ripens in early August. When the temperature drops below 14℃, it enters the dormant period.
