Q: How to overwinter Taro?
It'll be frost-time fairly soon here (Ottawa), so I'm planning what to
do. In past years I've kept my Black Magic Taro awake, in a small aquarium under grow-bulbs (interesting factoid: the deep dusky colour only appears under sunlight; under artificial light the leaves are dark green with only the veins showing maroon). However, I divided it this year, so I now have three healthy pots and can afford to experiment (ie. risk losing one). So: can taro be overwintered in a dormant state, and if so how? Should it be kept wet or dry, and at what temperature? And of course the followup Q is: how do I wake it up in Spring? I have a sunroom which would be good for "hardening off" (if that's something you can even do to taro). -- Kizhe |
