Growing them at home is easy and rewarding if you follow these simple steps.

Step 1

Make sure they are firm and free from blemishes.

Step 2

[{"selector":"#anim-1edd9902-f52a-4cf1-a747-8bfd35f09e62 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e3b2a34-105f-40aa-a657-fefe0b0191ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c2d0e7f-86aa-43e6-974a-704b24300c38","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-680ad763-077f-4ee8-b59e-363c09662590","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.26527%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] In a large pot or garden area, plant the corms 2-3 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Ensure there is adequate space for growth.

Step 3

[{"selector":"#anim-c749eedc-5f92-48b2-b2f1-792555c60591 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27d24933-2ee2-416c-8e97-3c362405f1a1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f10b51ac-fc72-4dd5-81c6-e9363b5c5aea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23f23bd5-7a34-44d9-a24e-81ee6e86965d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 211.64024%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Taro thrives in damp environments, so regular watering is key.

Step 4

[{"selector":"#anim-5a892a5b-d735-458c-b6c8-149aa0db2c3a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-076e0731-edbb-4523-a0fe-cb4f7ef5ae86","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b13a01d-605f-4635-a4a9-67f46cbb987a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41282433-cf73-48b8-8a9a-1d778be48703","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 211.64024%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Taro leaves need indirect sunlight. Place them in a partially shaded area for best growth.

Step 5

[{"selector":"#anim-80804a44-46e1-45c6-98f5-d25973b2bfd0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1aeb312f-bd8a-4f0c-9cc6-562d083d3ea1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e46499a-b58e-4eda-824b-d82d504221c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa8c98d7-f38f-46f5-81de-c2be3f000740","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 277.77787%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] In about 2-3 months, you can start harvesting young taro leaves for cooking.
