Signs of Cold Stress in American Ginseng

Symptoms

Solutions

During spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Heat Stress in American Ginseng

Symptoms

American Ginseng does not tolerate high temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, its development ceases, and it becomes more prone to decay.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
