Have been given a piece of Wasabi root, it has a couple of tiny new shoots
on it. Have done a search on how to grow it, and seem to come across a lot
of slightly conflicting advice.

Would like to try to grow it. Has anyone here had any success with growing
it, or could recommend a website known to be reliable? Thanks.

No, but I looked into it. It needs consistently warm (i.e. UK 'hot')
conditions, fairly high humidity and ample water. I decided not to
bother, but you might succeed.

If I had any to experiment with I would be tempted to try it indoors
growing in a very big tropical fish tank half full of pebbles and
water. It would need a pump to keep the water flowing, some powerful
lights and lots of fish.

This site has some interesting pictures of Wasabi growing in Japan.
