Description
Golden Seal Plant is essential because of its herbal and medicinal use.
The Golden Seal plant has been used as herbal medicine to control and treat many human ailments.
Because of its therapeutic use, the plant population in the world has drastically reduced because of over-harvesting. The plant grows free in the wild and is concentrated in the Eastern parts of North America, especially the south of Georgia, west of Alabama, Minnesota, and Arkansas.
The plant grows well in soil rich with humus and well-drained. This is because the plant cannot perform well in clay soil that holds water for long.
Another noted requirement when growing the plant is to ensure enough shade cover because it doesn’t require too much light. The shade cover should be between 75 to 80 percent to prevent direct sunlight. In addition, after planting, ensure you do mulching to minimize too much moisture loss.
These plants can be planted in three different ways: seeds, roots, or rhizomes. It will take close to 2 years for the seedling to germinate and close to 6 years to reach maturity.
Seedling growing from propagation from the root or rhizome takes a lesser time, like four years, to reach maturity. Golden Seal plant requires a lot of care when germinating and should be given close attention.
Golden Seal Plant comes from the buttercup family.
Harvesting this plant requires you to carefully dig up the root using a shovel and rinse it with clean water. After harvesting, leave it in the sun to dry before storing it because if you keep it fresh, it will grow molds.
The plant comes from the buttercup family with a yellow underground rhizome that contains a golden sap used for medicinal purposes. The plant thrives well during spring, producing two large hairy leaves with close to between 5 to 7 lobes.
At this time, the plant indicates maturity, and you can move in to harvest the rhizome. Because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory nature, the plant treats the common cold, upper respiratory tract infection, body detox, and urinary tract infection.
