DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Taioba requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. Ensure the plant is kept in a humid environment to mimic its native habitat.
Récolte
Xanthosoma taioba, commonly known as taioba, is typically ready for harvest around 180 days after planting. The tubers should be harvested when the leaves start to yellow and die back, indicating that the plant has reached maturity. To harvest, carefully dig around the base of the plant to avoid damaging the tubers. Once harvested, the tubers should be cleaned and stored in a cool, dry place. It is important to handle the tubers gently to prevent bruising, which can lead to spoilage.
Sol
Taioba prefers well-draining loam soil that retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of loam with organic matter is ideal to provide the necessary nutrients and drainage.
Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its nutrient needs.
Rempotage
Repot Taioba every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil mix to ensure continued growth.
Propagation
Propagate Taioba by dividing the tubers during the dormant season. Ensure each division has at least one growing point and plant them in well-draining soil.
Taille
Prune Taioba to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season as needed.
Toxicité
Taioba is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The leaves and tubers contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat.
