I have just ordered some of these and would be interested to know if anyone has grown them. I've heard they can be a bit of a challenge. I would be treating them as houseplants as I live in the North so don't fancy their chances outside.
I would appreciate any tips and information anyone may have.
Thanks, Jean.

I've also planted some other Tacca Chantieri tubers into 9" pots in good quality purpose compost mixed 50/50 with fine bark.
I did this to see which compost variety works best.
The pots also sit on trays with gravel and water to create a humid atmosphere.
My one question is this.....
