The Many Benefits of Growing Eleuthero

Eleuthero, also known as Siberian ginseng, is an excellent medicinal herb that is easy to cultivate and can be grown on a large scale. In traditional Chinese medicine, Eleuthero is considered a valuable herb.

Today, all parts of the Eleuthero plant are used, from its leaves, branches to roots, each possessing unique benefits. The leaves can be used for tea infusions, added as a flavoring agent in spring rolls and nem, or even cooked with fish. According to Chinese medicine practices, the leaves are believed to possess detoxifying properties and can aid in urination and relieve itching.

The roots of the Eleuthero plant are believed to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling, alleviate pain, and combat physical weakness and fatigue. The roots, often harvested when the plant is between three and six years old, are highly prized and sought after by wealthy families for their medicinal properties, similar to those of ginseng.

In feng shui, the Eleuthero plant is considered auspicious. It is said that planting Eleuthero in front of a house can ward off negative energy and evil spirits. This practice is believed to attract and preserve good fortune and prosperity for the family. Having an Eleuthero plant in front of your home is like having a guardian angel watching over your wealth.

Traditionally, Eleuthero plants were placed on both sides of the house’s threshold as a form of protection and blessing for the family. Being a sun-loving plant, Eleuthero thrives in sunny spots like doorsteps, entrances, and gardens. If you choose to grow Eleuthero bonsai indoors, remember to frequently place it in a sunny spot to ensure its well-being.

Planting Eleuthero in front of your house not only brings good feng shui but also provides a convenient source of this versatile herb for your daily needs.

Who Should Grow Eleuthero?

In feng shui, the green color of the Eleuthero plant is associated with the Wood element, which corresponds to the Moc and Hoa (Wood and Fire) signs. Therefore, individuals with these signs are believed to benefit the most from growing Eleuthero, attracting additional luck and prosperity into their lives.

Proper Planting and Care for Eleuthero

Selecting the Right Seedling: When growing Eleuthero, it is essential to start with healthy seedlings that are at least two years old. Look for sturdy branches with a brownish tint, and cut them into 10-cm long sections to use as cuttings.

Eleuthero thrives in well-drained, loose soil. If you’re planting it in a pot, choose a large one to allow for root development. The plant grows best in sandy loam soil with moderate moisture and does not tolerate waterlogging.

Planting Instructions: Add NPK fertilizer or processed organic fertilizer to the pot, place the seedling inside, cover it with soil, and water it. To maintain moisture and enrich the soil with humus, consider covering the surface with a layer of straw or water hyacinth.

While Eleuthero can be grown year-round, it thrives and grows fastest during spring, from January to April. When it comes to watering, remember that Eleuthero does not require frequent watering as it is susceptible to waterlogging and can tolerate drought.

Pest Control: Be vigilant about pest control by using systemic insecticides with translaminar and translocatory properties at the first sign of an infestation. From the second year onwards, take measures to prevent root damage from rodents.

Pruning: From the second year onwards, prune the leaves and branches twice a year, in April and September. Typically, Eleuthero plants can be harvested from the age of three, with the best time being between October and December. However, if you wish to maximize the plant’s value, you can let it grow for a few more years.
