I’ve successfully had a wasabi plant for a few months now, and I’ve actually done very little to look after it but its super healthy and currently gone to seed. It lives along the side of my house where its cooler and tends to be a bit damp but still gets quite a bit of sun, and I only water it 1-2 times a week currently. I live in Australia

Truffle is hard because to grow it in a controlled environment they have to grow symbiotically with a tree such as chestnut (you put the spores in to saplings I think), wait for the tree to grow, and then hope they have fruited underground where you can’t actually see them. And they only like it cool and damp as well so

Both just need a good few things to lìne up just right to happen.
