Wasabi is native to Japan, and grows best in a wet, warm climate between 45 °F (7 °C) and 70 °F (21 °C). Wasabi is notoriously finicky and will not grow in places where the temperature routinely rises or falls out of this small range. Wasabi naturally grows in wet, wooded areas with plenty of moisture in the air and well-draining soil. Wasabi does not do well in direct sunlight; it needs a very shady spot. In the wild, wasabi grows under forest canopy, where just enough sunlight filters through the leaves to give the wasabi what it needs to flourish. Amend the soil. Use a mixture of compost and organic, sulfur-rich fertilizer. Till the soil to a depth of 10 inches and work in ten inches of compost to create a rich, healthy soil. Test and adjust soil pH until it falls between 6 and 7 Follow the instructions illustrated in the image for selecting healthy seeds
