I knew it. I figured it’s a root so it has to be able to grow. Thank u for this now I can pick some up and put in my garden. 😊👍🏾

Good luck, if there are Asian grocery markets in your area they should have them.

That’s so awesome. You know of any other root vegetables from the market that would grow like that ?

I’ve been able to grow ginger, malanga, galangal also the tops from a pineapple and seeds from a papaya which I’ve all bought from a grocery store.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to look for some in the grocery store or find an Asian market

You're welcome, I buy them from the Asian markets because they have a larger selection of taro. You can also look for Malanga to grow too.

Good luck, once you get them growing you won’t have to buy any more. They reproduce like rabbits.😂

if you don't mind, what hardiness zone are you in and what are the lowest winter temps you get where you live? i very recently decided to start growing colocasias and i wonder if i could keep them planted outside all year long (zone 7b here)

I’m in northern California zone 9b. It got to 28 degrees F this winter. I can keep the larger established Colocasias outdoors, but in October I dig the smaller ones up to put in my greenhouse. The Colocasia Esculentas in this video have stayed outdoors in the winter and regrew in the spring.

They won’t survive the winter in zone 7. I just plant new ones in the spring.

How long do they stay.in the water? Will some rot?
@Tropifornia
@Tropifornia 10 ай бұрын
Until you see sprouts and or roots. If they are hard and firm they shouldn’t rot.

Do you change the water weekly? Also when do you harvest them?
@Tropifornia
@Tropifornia 3 ай бұрын
Because I leave them outside, the water evaporates and I dump out the old water and refill it more than once a week. I don't harvest them, but I have dug up the corms to propagate them. I will do that before spring, the plant stops growing foliage during the winter. The plant puts all its energy into growing the corms larger during the winter.

Can I leave the root in full sun or will that kill them?
@Tropifornia
@Tropifornia 3 ай бұрын
I left mine in the sun. It got shade in the early mornings and evenings, but was getting lots of sun in the afternoons. You could also just plant them in the ground in the spring, and they will grow that way too.

I have had my taro corms in the water for two weeks. All the ones I bought that had sprouts are growing beautifully, one of them however is experiencing a rotting bottom, how can I deal with that?
@Tropifornia
@Tropifornia 3 ай бұрын
I would cut off the rotting part, let it dry up a couple of days and then just plant it in soil. It might grow or it might not. I’m glad you got the other ones to grow👍

Yes, the root is so good to eat plain boiled. Or boiled then sliced and fried in oil. Either way season generously - for extra flavour a squeeze of lemon and fresh Chilli. But more important - harvest the leaves and cook them into Palusami 🤤 😋 🎉 Don't let them go to waste. Can be made with or without the tinned meat. Both ways are delicious 🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHicXqp7e9FkaM0si=beOHauu2XbxVcWBo

It works best if you can find the ones already sprouting, and leave them in sunlight during the spring or summer.
