Ginseng is a semi-shade plant, which can meet the growth requirements without receiving sunlight all day. Ginseng seeds are wrapped by pericarp, so they are angiosperms, and the seeds have two cotyledons, so they are also dicotyledons.
Ginseng grows in the soil. It is a perennial herb of Panax in Araliaceae. Its taproot is 3-6 cm high, fleshy and yellow-white. There are wild ginseng, American ginseng, red ginseng, white ginseng and Korean ginseng.
Ginseng is not a protected plant, but a semi-shade-loving plant. Wild ginseng is very strict about water. The suitable humidity of the air in the forest is 4% ~ 8%, and the soil humidity is 4% ~ 5%. If it exceeds 5%, it will be flooded.
