Hiya!

The advice I received from kiwilad on the previous string was to cut the taro bulb off one inch below the eye
and pot it up- just like with a potato. It sure works- the 85 cent pc I
picked up is now over a foot tall and is starting its third full leaf
(they're huge!!). After first frost, I will get a bunch more and start them
right out in the garden- they'll probably do even better out there than in a
dark house in a small pot!

Happy Gardening!

Thanks so much for answering me Rhonda!

I'm going to have to clarify this though because I've never really planted a potato before either--You cut the taro one inch below the eye and then you plant the "eye" up (as opposed to planting the cut up), correct? Thanks

"Eyes up" is correct - cut side down. Dust the cut side with cinnamon or a fungicide before planting OR let it dry for 24 hours to prevent rotting.
