Is ginseng found in South Africa?
African Ginseng occurs throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa. It’s heavily used from the wild as both food and medicine, so much so that it’s considered endangered and at risk of extinction.
But this is entirely unnecessary as the species is easily propagated and very fast growing.
How long does it take for ginseng seeds to grow?
Ginseng seeds can take up to 18 months to germinate, while ginseng plants can take around three to five years to mature. Wait the appropriate amount of time before you even think of harvesting the ginseng plant’s roots.
How to grow ginseng fast?
To grow your own ginseng, you’ll need at least three things: a cool shady spot, well-drained humus-rich soil, and consistent moisture. Oh, and one more thing: patience.
If your backyard includes an area that mimics this plant’s natural woodland habitat, trying your hand at growing this herb can be a rewarding project.
