You may be familiar with the Wasabi Plant, but did you know you could grow your own? That’s right! It’s never been easier to add this spicy, flavorful plant to your own garden.

Commonly known as Japanese horseradish, the root of this edible plant is used to make the spicy green condiment popular in Japanese cuisine. An added bonus - you can also eat the stems and leaves, too!

The Wasabi Plant is happiest in specific conditions, so be prepared to plant in an area where it can receive shade and temperature regulation - this plant grows best between 45 and 75 degrees. However, its small size makes it easy to plant in a shady corner of your garden, a container indoors, or even in a greenhouse!

This versatile, edible plant offers so many ways to brighten up your dishes. The root is perfect for adding some spice, while the stems and leaves are great as garnishes or greens. You'll be able to harvest your wasabi the second year after planting.

Planting & Care

Planting: Plant in an area without direct sunlight and with proper shade. Stand the plant upright so that part of the rhizome is exposed. It should also be in an environment without too high or too low temperatures, between 45-75 degrees Fahrenheit. (Potting it can control moving it during these fluctuations, just use a one or two-gallon pot with at least a 10-inch planting depth.)

Watering: Water consistently at planting, and keep a regular routine to ensure moisture without overwatering. Misting the plants also helps in temperature regulation and avoiding wilting.

Fertilizing: The plant’s soil requires a slightly acidic to neutral pH, along with being rich and constantly moist.

Pruning: Remove any wilted leaves that don't respond to misting. This can help to decrease the spread of disease or powdery mildew.
