Sitting here for 20 minutes and it hasn't grown at all. Why? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[Xinkc]

Are you farming them in the Nether? They only grow there.

Yes, I'm I'm in a little dark cobblestone hut in the nether.

It takes 1 hour for the wart to grow fully in the nether. It takes 7 minutes for it to grow if it is next to fire in the nether.

I was in there for over 2 hours once and only 3 out of 20 grew fully.

Where did you get that from?

[kmarkopl]

If you put some torches around or glow stone above the nether wart , it ll grow much faster .
Remember more light then it faster ll grow .

The wiki says that

Will it grow if I'm outside of the Nether?

no , and you have to be all time in the nether if you want to get fully grown

[DontStealMyBacon]

I know you said you were sitting there, but as for anyone else, like all other farming methods, you have to stay in the same chunk (or range of chunks) as the farm or else the chunk will not load and the farm will not grow. This goes for being too far away from your farm within the nether or being outside of the nether

it is from the wiki, although i have done some testing of my own, and the results are inconclusive, so i dont know if it works, but it might make you feel better.

The wiki is wrong again. Wouldn't be the first time. So many idiots are allowed to post complete BS there.

This video explains just about everything you'll need to know about Nether Wart.

The same could be said of these forums.

Indeed. But people at least try not to treat the misinformation spread around the forum for fact.^^;

[wooaa]

just so you know, i did my tests, and netherwart dose not grow faster when it is next to fire.  spreed the word, and lets kill this rumor.

Spoiler:

I watched the video, and while it is very good (as is the Part 1 video), I believe he is incorrect in saying that planting in multiple chunks increases the average rate at which the netherwart will grow.  If chunk updates occur as he stated, then there's a logic error in his probability.

He said the game picks 20 blocks from each chunk and checks them for updates.  Assuming that it can pick ANY block, and not limit itself to ones that can update, then each block in that chunk has an equal chance to be picked.

So if you have four 8x8 plots of netherwart, it doesn't matter if all four plots are in the same chunk, or if they are in four separate chunks.  The odds of each block updating are exactly the same.

Also in real life.
