A plant that needs to be taken care of while growing, Gurdyroot is said to have the ability to ward off evil. Unfortunately, this attribution is due to its highly unpleasant smell and bogey-like taste when Gurdyroot Infusion is made. The most famous creature it is said to ward, the Gulping Plimpie, is not even verified to exist. However, many muggle insects are repelled by the smell of it, but magical insects attempt to bite into it to kill it which makes it difficult to grow. To prevent this, there are two solutions. The first is to plant it in an amount of nutritious soil at least 7.5 times the size of the bulb which will help separate the plants enough to prevent a mass outbreak and give it the room that it needs. The next method is Nonperiurabis, a defensive spell that can be used to protect the plant's stem.
