1-Bareroot Taro Plant. Taro has stunning large heart shaped dark green leaves that make a spectacular focal point for your pond or garden. Thrives in USDA zones 9-11 when the air temperature remains at least 77 degrees. Propagated year round for its leaves in greenhouses, outdoors it needs at least 200 frost-free days for the tuber to fully mature. Grown is moist soil, protected from winds, & given some afternoon shade it requires very little care, other than regular fertilization. Raw Taro is toxic so always handle the plant with care, once cooked Taro is completely safe to handle & eat. Hawaiians believed Kalo (Taro) to have the greatest life force of all foods & when processed is a starchy staple in their diet they call Poi. Harvest when the leaves turn yellow & begin to die back. Dig up & store the same as you would a potato, in a dry cool place. Don't eat them all, remember to pick out a few good ones to replant for the next season!
(Please Note: Leaves may at first die off after being replanted but new leaves will soon start to sprout in a week or so to replace them.)
