Habitat of the herb: the herb: By the coast and in temperate valleys of the Andes. Usually found at the edges of moist thickets or in ditches.

Other uses of Achira: The starch from the roots is sometimes used as a laundry starch or for sizing.

Propagation of the herb: Seed - pre-soak for 24 hours in warm water and sow February/March in a warm greenhouse at 20℃. Plant the seeds 2 - 5cm deep in individual pots. Scarifying the seed can speed germination, especially if the seed has not swollen after being soaked. The seed usually germinates in 3 - 9 weeks. Grow the plants on in a greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Division of the root clump as the plant comes into growth in the spring. Each portion must have at least one growing point. Pot up the divisions and grow them on in the greenhouse until they are well established and then plant them out in the summer. Root cuttings.
