Seed condition & storage
Seeds are mature and carefully dried to preserve viability during storage and transit Stored cool and dry prior to shipping For best results, keep seeds refrigerated (not frozen) until sowing No germination guarantee — please read the care notes before purchase
Germination & expectations
Wasabi seeds can be slow and variable in germination. Recommended steps:
Pre-soak seeds 12–24 hours in room-temperature water Optional cold stratification: keep moist seeds in the fridge 4–8 weeks Sow shallowly — surface-sow or cover very lightly (≤2 mm) Keep consistently moist (not waterlogged) and cool Germination time: 2–8 weeks; some seeds may take longer Use a sterile, fine seed-starting mix and gentle airflow
Growing conditions & care
Light: bright shade to dappled sun Soil: rich, humus-heavy, well-draining yet moisture-retentive pH: slightly acidic to neutral Water: constant moisture, avoid stagnant water Containers: deep pots recommended in warm climates Spacing: allow room for rhizome development Time to harvest: months to 1–2 years for rhizomes; leaves can be harvested sooner
Troubleshooting
Low germination: try cold stratification and fresh seed-start mix Damping off / mold: improve drainage, airflow, and use sterile medium Yellowing leaves / poor growth: check soil fertility and maintain cool, shaded conditions
