Wow you guys, so informative, so much respect and love for the Taro. I grow it here in Malawi, Africa we have sub tropical weather. Its great for feed for my pigs and we eat the Yam below, usually just boiled.
Freaggin Awesome video and valuable information!! I jumped back when sistah started shoveling at 13:03 barefoot cause I haven't seen that done in a really long time. She get'um!! haha!!
Beautiful... I am a new gardener, and growing my own food interests me tremendously. This is one of my favourite foods on earth, In the Caribbean we call it '' Dasheen'' I am growing mine curently, it was an experiment, I simply bought one in the market and cut off the top part, put it in water until it grew roots, then I planted it out in the soil. It is doing well so far, I even saw a long yellow flower on it this week. I wanted to know how to propagate it to get more plants, because they are really expensive here... My grandmother told me yestreday, that when you see the offshoots, just dig it up and plant it somewhere else, and before you know it, you will have countless plants. I now have 6 Dasheen plants from that 1 I planted months ago. I am so pumped to plant more this way. I love this video. I have learned so much.
There is so much information in this video thank you! I didnt know taro grew from the bottom up but it makes sense, ill certainly be planting deeper from now on thank you!
Right on! I get some 2. I get iliuaua. My ula ula kumu mated with another native green ha variety I forgot the name. I had them both in the same laoimakamala when they flowered. The Ha of the green ha one after I when huli um now are reddish kind of like the ula ula kumu… curious to see if the newly regenerated variety going form keiki from runners or grow directly from the corm like the ula ula kumu.
i grow taro here in chicago, yes that's right all the way here chicago! grow it mostly for leaves to make a Gujarati dish called Patra (taro leaves, wrapped with a batter of gram flour, palm sugar, green chiles, and spices) and also for the stems which are used to make a fresh pickle to eat with lentils. @15:00 - @16:00 that's really interesting, i'll have to see how that works out in my garden next year.
How does the yield go growing in the pots? I read that they don't produce well. Thanks for such detailed instructions. First time growing and growing in half cut 44 Gal (200ltr) containers (22gal, 100ltr each).
you can grow kalo well in pots if the pots are large, like the ones you mention. kalo is a heavy feeder so dont be shy on preplanting preparation. Lots of broken down mulch, house hold compost (broken down), well broken down manure and daily watering will result in best growing of kalo
Shoots my braddah…Sunday after church if that’s ok. We get a good piece of land in Kailua to grow kalo. Our goal is to be self sustaining thanks to you being inspiring. Love ALL your videos. I’m a subscriber 👍
Aloha Ohana, I had prepared some Mana ula ula huli and planted, few weeks after as it grew the Pua Kalo came to bloom… I’m curious. Is it something I did wrong? Was the huli taken at a wrong time? Any info would be awesome! Mahalo!!!
if you plant the makua, often times get pua. or if the soil doesnt have nutrients, the plant flowers in hopes that the seed takes and the plant genetics can live on.
Great video, you explained everything so clearly, respect from a young taro grower in the Caribbean!

This is the best instructional video for planting Kalo.

Mahalo for the knowledge
You guys still doing huli giveaways?
yes come to the farm and pick some up for you and your ohana

we always have huli to share

I had to move to the mainland. My kalo froze. I'm heartsick
Braddah can ship me some Huli ($) to plant (In dry kalo patch) ?
I wish I could get the p hamlet you have. Will gladly pay whatevers
sorry we dont have any printed materials at this time. you can look for Hawaiian Planting Traditions or Hawaiian Style Mauka to Makai - two good books
Theres plenty for learn about the Mala. Let me check the spelling mu a la a. There’s a reason why maddah and Mala sound similar.
But for be sPACIFIC then bettah say loiMakamala… anyway you break it down and spell check um going tell the truth. Just no flip the script.
I suppose get plenty ways for say whats really up in our hyroglyphic language.
