Planting

How to Grow

  1. Tuck konjac corms into well-draining soil in spring, 6 weeks before last frost.
  2. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth.
  3. Mist cuttings or young plants lightly to maintain humidity and encourage rooting.
  4. Fertilize monthly with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season.
  5. Transplant seedlings or divisions in early spring after the danger of frost passes.
  6. Mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pro Tip

Plant konjac in a sheltered spot with partial shade for best growth and tuber development.
