Cuidados
Plant the tubers in well draining soil to prevent rot during the dormant season. Keep an eye out for yellowing leaves which often signal that the plant is entering its summer dormancy. Ensure it has plenty of space to accommodate its wide, architectural foliage.
- Riego
- Keep the soil consistently moist during the active growing season but reduce water significantly once the foliage begins to die back.
- Abonado
- Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly while the plant is actively producing leaves.
- Poda
- Remove dead or yellowing foliage only after it has completely withered to allow the tuber to store energy.
- Trasplante
- Repot or divide the tubers when they become too crowded or if you want to propagate the plant.
