Planting methods and management techniques of taro potted plants

Potted taro is the most trouble-free potted plant. It costs little, looks good, and most importantly, it is very easy to grow. Taro is the kind of potted plant that you can just throw in the pot and forget about it. The flowering period of taro potted plants is not long, and the pots are green all year round, which is very worry-free. The most important thing is that it can produce taro to eat when it grows up.

Potted taro planting method

1. Preliminary preparation

When planting taro, you can choose edible taro purchased directly from the supermarket. The depth of the container should generally be more than 40 cm. Either a wooden pot or a plastic pot can be used. Taro prefers relatively loose and breathable soil.

Therefore, you cannot use ordinary garden soil directly to plant taro. Generally, you need to prepare the nutrient soil yourself. It is recommended to find some sawdust, add some sand and humus soil and mix them into soil.

2. Planting

Generally, place the taro in the pot with the bud point facing upwards, and then plant a bud about 20 cm apart. Then cover it with soil, covering the bud point about one centimeter, water it thoroughly, and place it in a well-ventilated and sunny place. This way, the taro seeds will be easier to germinate.

Precautions for taro care

When planting potted taro, you need to pay attention to choosing good soil and not letting the taro get frozen. Once frozen, the taro will easily stop growing, and in severe cases it will freeze to death. At the same time, watering should not be too little. Taro is a moisture-loving plant. During the maintenance process, you must always observe whether there are diseases and pests. Once insects are found, you need to spray pesticides.
