Kariyat is a hardy plant that grows naturally in many different types of environments: low-lying plains, highland slopes, coasts and roadsides.
In cultivation it is an easy-care plant that thrives in many different types of soil. Moist soils with good drainage are an advantage, however. Can grow both in full shade (e.g. under taller trees and shrubs) and in partial shade, but it grows best in sunny, slightly shady locations.
Plant with a spacing of approximately 60cm x 30cm.
Top branches for a bushier growth habit.
Roots should be harvested when foliage begins to lose color or wilt.
