Horseradish prefers consistently moist soil. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. In dry periods, increase watering frequency to maintain soil moisture.

Mulching helps retain soil moisture.

Pruning horseradish primarily involves harvesting. Cut back foliage to about 10-15 cm above the ground after the first frost to encourage vigorous root growth for the following season.

Remove any diseased or damaged leaves as they appear throughout the growing season.

Horseradish is easily propagated by root cuttings. In early spring, dig up healthy roots and cut them into 5-10 cm sections, ensuring each piece has at least one bud.

Plant these horizontally or vertically in well-draining soil.

Horseradish is typically grown directly in the ground due to its vigorous root system. If container growing, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a larger container, using fresh, well-draining potting mix.

This prevents the roots from becoming pot-bound and restricts spread.
