Taro rarely blooms or sets seed. There are two options for propagation: – by offshoots from the mother corm. Offshoots are separated from the main plant when they are at least 15 cm in height. – by chopping the dark top section of the taro tuber into small pieces, leave for a day to allow surfaces to dry and replant. Plant tubers in a trench 6 in (15 cm) and 40 in (100 cm) apart, and the plants should be placed 15–24 in (38–61 cm) along the rows. Cover with 2-3 inches of soil. The plant can become as large as 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide so allow sufficient space between plantings Makes a good container plant. Dig a hole about 6 in (15 cm) deep and place the tuber into the soil. Cover it with 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) of soil. Taro is often grown commercially in wet beds, similar to rice, to produce larger tubers. Can be grown in a bucket or a big jar with proper water circulation and air flow to prevent diseases. Taro needs consistent irrigation and a well-drained rich soil with plenty of organic matter. Fertilize two or three times during the growing season; potash is particularly important.
