Cut rhizomes into sections, ensuring each piece has at least one growth node.
Site Selection:

Choose a shady location, such as under trees or alongside a north-facing wall.
Ensure the site has access to a constant supply of fresh water, as wasabi prefers a steady flow of water over its roots.
Soil Preparation:

Prepare a well-draining bed by incorporating compost or well-rotted manure.
Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to maintain moisture.
Planting:

Plant rhizome sections 5-7 cm (2-3 inches) deep and 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) apart.
Cover with soil and water thoroughly.
Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
If possible, use a drip irrigation system to maintain steady moisture levels.
Mulching:

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Keep the mulch a few inches away from the base of the plants to prevent rot.
Fertilizing:

Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates and frequency.
Pruning and Maintenance:

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain plant health.
Ensure the plants are spaced adequately to allow good air circulation.
Pest and Disease Management:

Monitor for pests such as aphids, slugs, and snails.
Use organic or chemical controls as necessary, following guidelines for safe application.
Practice good hygiene by removing fallen leaves and debris from around the plants.
Harvesting:

Wasabi rhizomes can be harvested after 18-24 months of growth.
Carefully dig up the rhizomes, avoiding damage to the roots.
