Planted in the growing zone or hydroponics basins and yields herbal medicine.Sowing healroot requires a minimum growing skill of 8, but any colonist capable of plant cutting can harvest them.

It may be worth walling off your healroot, as wildlife is more than inclined to consume it, hindering your overall herbal medicine production. A herd of Thrumbos (or even a single for that matter) will be destructive to your Healroot farm if left unprotected.
There is a variety that can be found growing in the wild in some biomes, known as Wild healroot. It is statistically identical except it can't be cultivated manually.
