Re: Malanga blanca

Dear Barbara,
This is Xanthosoma sagittifolia, it grows wild as an 'escapee' all over S.
Florida. Plant the rhizome at an (45 deg. ? ) angle, the tip about an inch
below the soil surface in a well drained pot, keep it moist, fert., and
stand back! It can grow to over 6 ft. tall! Good luck! You could
also just put some cooking oil on your hands, peel, and use in split-pea
soup, as you would potatoes! ( :--)>

>>Dear Aroiders,
Awhile back, people were talking about vegetables found in Indian and
Cuban markets that could be planted and made into beautiful plants.
I found malanga blanca. Now,after looking at it carefully, I don't know
exactly how to treat it for planting. Should it be covered,semi-covered,
lenghthwise or horizontal? Now it is a long, thin 4" tuber. Before I
kill it or rot it, please send advice.<<
