 93/ Look everyone! I managed to keep a wasabi root alive outside all summer. (Two days with 100+F heat.) I hid it behind some trees with shade netting. The plant grew two leaves and they are really bug eaten (slugs or millipedes). I’m moving it into part-shade here to see if I can get more growth before winter. 

I don’t recommend this plant. It usually can’t tolerate temps above 80F. I keep it in soil that is 35% perlite and it needs lots of moisture but can’t sit in water. Pest magnet.
