The message
from Ford Prefect contains these words:

Anyone out there ever grown these aroids? found some for sale in a
local ethnic supermarket (along with some others that looked similar)
and thought I'd give it a go.

No, and the name covers a range of tubers from different plants.

When is the best time to plant (they'll be pot grown).
I'm in the South UK and they will be grown in an East facing
conservatory.

I would expect them to require more light and heat than an east-facing
conservatory could provide. But give them a try. I'd plant them in pots
in a polythene tent with a small heater under it - say a 60 watt bulb.

Better, you could start them in an old refrigerator with a suitable bulb
in it - you'd have to find the wattage by trial and error. (I made an
incubator which took 1,000 hens' eggs from an old refrigerator. It had
two 60 watt bulbs, though it only required one - the other was a
failsafe. It did have a thermostat though.)
