#ginseng — Public Fediverse posts

To meet global demand, forest farmers in the northeastern United States are cultivating American ginseng using seeds sourced from large, artificial-shade farms in the Midwest and Canada, a practice that is unintentionally altering the genetic makeup of naturally occurring, "wild" #ginseng populations.

Raíces de Ginseng de Craig Thompson

#Cómic #Salud #Acupuntura #Ginseng

@Lignedescience ... et elle au coeur de la BD de Craig Thompson (Gingeng Roots, Casterman, 2024) - dans sa version cultivée en Amérique du Nord.
L'auteur raconte son enfance et adolescence, rythmée par la culture de cette racine unique en son genre...
Un pavé, mais une mine d'informations sur le #ginseng - sur fond de parcours initiatique du narrateur découvrant les #comics étatsuniens au même moment.

Made a couple more #floral #decoupaged #ArtRocks & placed them at the base of one of my #ficus #ginseng #plants. There are 2 miniature glass #Mastodon figurines in the pot too.

I have 4 ficus ginseng aka #Chinese #banyan plants. I propagated 3 extra plants from one strong mother plant. I bring them inside for Fall-Winter. They stay outdoors from May-October - depending on weather/temperature.

Came across a small patch of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) on this afternoon’s walk.
