      Yes, I have dasheen everywhere, even have Coco in the living room overwintering
      I have success outside, only in pots, so I start somewhere like a greenhouse or in my house, take outside when the weather warms up and if autumn comes early, take back to covering to harvest late autumn
      I only have tiny tubers so far, but overwintering few from last season, hopefully these will be bigger this year

    Yes we liked your video. We have a tropical landscape it NC that got out of control with weeds so we are resetting
    about 900 canna lillies. The day lillies and tiger lillies shaded out the weeds so fortunately they stay as is. We
    had elephant ears but they picked up their dirt and ran away one night. Being that they were $35 each it would
    be expensive to replace. Switching to grocery store Taro at $1 for two tubers. They are small so we will likely
    root the tuber as one piece but your video is great info if the asian market stocks large Taro roots. The elephant
    ears made a large yellow flower which we may miss but the price is right on the Taro. We add a SMALL amount
    of peroxide when rooting in water like 2 oz/ gallon which seems to help.

    it also goes well with meat soups, the fresh leaves & stalks you can cook with ginger, onion, garlics, fried fish & coconut milk, or dry the leaves cook it the same way or even pack it in air tight containers for future use. that is how it is usually done in Asia.

      Yes, and no to your question
      One taro normally produces just one tuber, but the main plant send out loads of new shoots
      Which then produces its own tubers
      But it's best to separate the suckers when they form as they take too much energy from the main plant and causes the tubers to be smaller, so best to have each sucker in separate location
