  • Today we are going to regrow Taro in polybag
    This is Xanthosoma sagittifolium also known as American Taro, Malanga, or Gabi. Its very simple, just cut the top parts and plant it in soil
    water adequately, then place it on shaded area
    after 2 weeks, transfer the plant to a large container
    the bigger the container the better the result will be
    we use soil and compost (1:1) as medium, you can also use other mixture, as long as its good in retaining water
    Taro needs adequate water to grow well
    after one month the plant has grown large
    after 5 months, many young plants have grown surrounding the parent plant
    we can separate and plant it in different container and we will have many new Taro plants
    when planted in garden or a very large container, it will multiply indefinitely
    after 8 months the roots ca be harvested
    this type of Taro takes so long to harvest, because the roots taste good only after 8 months
    unlike smaller taro that usually takes only 3 months to harvest
    if harvested too early this type of Taro doesn't taste good and most people find it inedible
    as you can see the tuber has grown out of the soil, this means the container is not big enough
    you can regrow a whole new plant with this young plants
    this is tuber from one Taro plant
    this type of Taro yields little with very long harvesting time
    so we recommend planting smaller Taro instead, with shorter harvesting time and more yields
    Enjoy your homegrown Taro, and see you in next video
