Here is the BEST Time to Transplant Taro Konjac in Arizona (2023 Guide)

Do you want to transplant taro konjac plant seedlings, but don’t know when the best time is to?

Transplanting taro konjac plants is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • New taro konjac plants must be consistenly watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at a temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit both inside and in a garden.

So if you don’t consistently water them they will quickly wilt. If temperatures consistently fall below 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t grow and may even die. And if they don’t receive at least 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because Arizona’s growing season is not long enough, you have to start your taro konjac plants indoors and then move them into a garden.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to transplant taro konjac seedlings:

When to Transplant Taro Konjac

There are two different times you’ll need to transplant taro konjac plants.

First, you should transplant your taro konjac plants from a peat pot to a larger (5 gallon) gardening container once your taro konjac plants get between 3 – 5 inches tall. This will take approximately 6 to 8 weeks after you first plant your taro konjac seeds.

The second time you should transplant your taro konjac plant is when you move it from indoors to your outdoor garden. You should transplant your taro konjac plant into a traditional garden or raised garden 10 – 14 days after the average last frost.

Arizona Frost Dates

To help ensure the greatest success of your taro konjac plant thriving you should:

  • Slowly acclimate your taro konjac plant to the outside environment. Move your taro konjac plant outside for one hour a day and increase this an hour every day until it can withstand mother nature for 8 straight hours.
  • After transplanting your taro kojac plant into your garden provide a thick covering of mulch to help it ward off cold, disease and pests, and better retain water during the summer months.
  • Cover your taro konjac plants with burlap or a protective covering if you notice that a late frost may occur to protect it from wilting and dying.
