Trying to grow Wasabi (japanese mustard)
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. |

It needs consistently warm (i.e. UK 'hot') conditions, fairly high humidity and ample water. I decided not to bother, but you might succeed. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Also use to plant the roots in the grave of our tropical aquariums for their attractive foliage, not that they lasted too long in the warm water. I think they were actually "Brandy Bottles" growing in fast shallow water. Regards Bob Hobden |

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.
