Malanga root/tuber plant

From: The Thaumaturgist asitkghosh at yahoo.com> on 2002.08.17 at 01:47:52(9190) Hi Marc I bought a Malanga "Lila" and a Malanga "Blanca" tubers from the oriental store and planted them in potting soil in small cups. With heavy watering, within two weeks they sprouted. I had similar luck with Taro and Eddoe. Asit K.
