How can I keep wasabi roots from becoming stressed by heat?

Grow in partial shade, keep the soil evenly moist, maintain good humidity, and protect plants from excessive heat as directed on the product page.

Why does wasabi need more moisture than many garden herbs?

Wasabi is a moisture-loving perennial root herb. The product lists high moisture needs and advises keeping the soil consistently moist without drying out.
