Growing the herb

Planting spirit weed seeds are very profitable, therefore players are advised to make sure that the herb does not die. Supercompost (or Fertile Soil spell) is strongly recommended, as this is the best way of preventing your herbs from getting disease, as it is not possible to water the patch, or ask a farmer to tend the herbs. It takes 80 minutes to fully grow. It is highly recommended to use My Arm's herb patch, because he will protect your herbs from death for free, but you must first complete My Arm's Big Adventure. Those who want quick money from spirit weeds can make summoning potion or create spirit weed incense sticks.

Profit

The following table shows the profit yield, assuming all the herbs and seeds are purchased/sold at the Grand Exchange, for the guide price. If the herb dies, the loss will be −299 coins.
