How To Grow Real Wasabi At Home 

Thank You for doing this big wonderful experiment and sharing it with us. I am hoping to grow a few again. We had 3 plants that lived about 1.5 years and never came back after being dormant .

super informative video. thanks for uploading this, like you said there is very little information on growing wasabi out there. especially in california weather

I have come here cause i got 3 wasabi plant waiting to be potted in my kitchen :D Definetly high pot and drainage so it doest sit in water is important with these plants. Other than that im gona gamble with 3 plants and see if they last until spring.

I have 6 Daruma wasabi growing in 5 gallon pots. I live in LA in the South Bay along the coast. I'm in zone 10b and so far, so good. I catch water in rain barrels and keep the pots wet but not drenched. I feed with organic 5-5-5 fertilizer and use Sluggo (iron phosphate) to control slugs and snails. My soil is standard potting soil. Shade is must with dappled sunshine. I periodically spray with Monterey Disease Control and Spinosad for mildew and bugs.

Your information is very interesting. Could you please share with us where to buy wasabi seeds?

Super useful video. Thank you. I will be following with enthusiasm all your videos. Failures are more educational than success.

What a great video, thank you for sharing information. Are you selling any plants? I look forward to viewing all your shorts😊

Is it possible to buy seeds? I'd like to try growing it but it seems like all the seeds offered in Amazon and ebay are fake. I know that is hard to germinate but I would not be able to legally import plants into my country

I appreciate this video. I recently got a wasabi plant myself and there's not a lot of information on the net to help with looking after one, or what there is, is very conflicting.

I don't think you gave an update on the difference between the 3 plants where you harvested to leaves and the 3 you didn't. I was also looking forward to you sharing how you divide the mature plants. I had three wasabi plants in the CA bay area, two of them I lost to root rot which taught me a lot about how important drainage is. I've also heard they can be grown in ponds with basket pots, so far I'm nursing the one plant i have left, but i have a small pond - I'll give that try next year if i successfully divide the one plant i have left. Crossing my fingers.

I think the leaf curl on the plants may be thrips, an insect. I've seen similar symptoms on infected spinach.

Pleasingly over weedmat.say 6 inches. Put well draind half barrel of rum, whiskey, wine. Topped with back or peashingle water when ready

Interested in the continuation of your growing adventure.

I'm also in CA (but in LA). I think I'll give it a try soon.

How many months did you grow the large wasabi rhizomes? I live in Muju-gun, South Korea. Wasabi is grown in the countryside. 15 heads

You might want to try larger perlite too! I use #3 perlite for a lot of my plants (non wasabi) and it drains so much better and doesnt float as much either

I have managed to keep 1 out of 2 alive here in Victoria, Australia.. Mazuma. Its on my windowsill in very limited light and I water ita lot with cold tap water. But then again I also insist on growing frangipani and avocado here as well.. Fingers crossed!

I am just getting into growing it in Australia we have very hot summer and very cold in winter

I’m interested in growing my own wasabi. Where did you purchase your wasabi plants?

Hello. You mention @18:40 that you’d be posting the links to the pots. I was wondering if you could share them? Thanks so much!

what about growing from seed? cant find any plants in my area in germany

Have you thought about disinfecting your shears?

Do u sell seed?

50 percent apple cider vinaga😅

I want to buy wasabi live plant.

Burrfection!!!

1st find out what the FDA says about growing wasabi. Then do the opposite.

Isn't if funny that we should say "real wasabi"? The other stuff is not wasabi(name for a plant) and should have to label itself as such. I'll settle for Fake Wasabi on the packaging.

Any hydroponic setup.
