Can you tell me how to germinate seeds from a plant commonly referred to as bat plant (Tacca chanteri and Tacca nivea)?
Submitted by: AdministratorThe seeds of Tacca-a genus of 10 or so herbaceous perennials from the subtropical forests of West Africa and Southeast Asia, grown for their handsome foliage and unusual flowers-should be sown in the spring on the surface of a porous soil mix at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the seed evenly moist. Bat plants can also be propagated in spring by dividing their rhizomes; be sure each section contains a bud.
The plants require a moist, warm environment, and if grown outdoors they will need some shade. Since they are not hardy-the minimum temperature at which they will survive is 55 degrees Fahrenheit-they are often grown in a greenhouse.
