A Chinese friend gave one of her Korean ginseng plants today, but I'm having trouble finding into on how to grow it. So far I know that it needs to be grown in shade and have moist soil. The plant itself is about 8" tall with very nice roots. I put it in a 12" plastic container so I could move it around. Anyone know about growing this herb?

I think I found a good/explanatory article for you:

From the amount of shade these guys need, I'm going to it put under one of my rhododendron bushes. I can't think of a shadier place than that.
