I love hearing customer feedback. Where did you plant your starts; how did you grow them; when did they flower: have you clipped any leaves and into what dish were they added; what was the heat level? One of our customers, Robert recently sent the progress of his plant starts. The below shows his initial planting in March and a July/August update. (Note, full shade. Very important.) He's authorized us to use his communication verbatim:
Markus,
“My wasabi plants have almost reached their one year! Besides a few set backs the plants have been great. The rhizomes are about two inches long and growing well. I just started seeing flowers on one plant...is that a sign of the end or will it keep growing? Should I cut it? Again thanks for your time and amazing business! … The set backs I mentioned were mostly do to aphids and heat in the summer. I added shade cloth for the heat and neem oil for the aphids. The plants lost most their leaves but came back fast.”
