Tried so many ways growing this plant all failed in my attempt. They say it can be grown from seeds forget it, it's very difficult to germinate.
This plant is best grown from its perennial clumps below which just as difficult to obtain. This plants is only grown once and it will provide endless supply of fresh cuttings through out its life span.
Planted in Aquaponics growbeds at roughly six inches spacing.
It slowly recover at about 2 weeks and start to grow and after about 30 days it fully recover from the transplanting and ready to harvest after 40 days as shown below.
Its a healthy growth in Aquaponics for this plant, I'll still need to monitor on how best to adjust water level for this plant.
No fertilizer or any supplement were use for this plant, looks like it take to Aquaponics nicely.
