Thank you for the info. I lived in zone 7b in northeast Alabama. This is my first year growing taro. My plants grew to about 4ft. The leaves are about 18" long 12" wide. They are growing in full sun and have done well. This year was a really hot summer. I haven't harvested any of the leaves yet. I am guessing the younger leaves would be better than the older leaves? Any one have any thoughts on this?

How much sun does it need? I have kept them in full sun temperatures around more than 90 F during July-August. During day time they face down, should I move them to shade?

@EasyPeasyGardening

Yeah probably some shade will be good

Thanks for the GREAT info. What zone do you live in? I'm in Zone 9, but I'm thinking of just growing these in good size planters so that I can harvest from the planters, just like you did. And when winter comes, perhaps move them in a warmer location so they can keep growing. I'm hoping I get motivated enough to build a green room outside. I need to do a little more research. Thanks again! VR, ~ D

How long should the roots be kept in the plastic bag and should water be sprinkled every day on the taro root till it shoots leaves?

@EasyPeasyGardening

3 жыл бұрын

Keep it in the bag without making it air tight otherwise fungus may develop. I didn't mist it at all. If they are too dry, you can mist them very lightly once. Keep checking and if you see any sign of fungus, take them out. Mine developed sprouts pretty quickly.

Nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Because they have oxalic acid so it needs to be cooked thoroughly

I have several unknown varieties and have been told that some may be unsafe to eat the leaves. How does one determine the types? *these are really rather large with at least three different stem colors

As per my knowledge, they are of two types: purple and green stem and the edible one is green.

Thanks for the replies! I have since learned my purple stemmed variety is Samoan and all parts are safe*. The really huge one is Hawai'ian and the side roots and leaves are ok*. Never found out about the pink stems so only ate the side roots*. My other green stem gave me tons of roots & I was warned not to bother with the leaves and stems that blanching never really got rid of the oxalic acid crystals enough. *boiling is required for 30 minutes and the water tossed out before peeling the side roots (don't use the main root). Blanching the stems and leaves is required and the water dumped out before using them for wrapping food or stir frying stems! With apparently over 400 varieties worldwide, it was hard getting id's on mine that came from a community garden that had become neglected but the gardeners before me had lived all over and had many exotic plants that popped up after clearing the overgrowth!
