Konjac Seed Planting

Konjac seeds can generally be sown around March. At this time, the temperature is suitable and the air humidity is high. It is also the vigorous growth period of the plant. The survival rate is higher after sowing, and it can resume growth faster.

It is important to choose the right time to plant konjac, preferably in spring from March to April. The temperature and humidity at this time are suitable, which is conducive to survival and vigorous growth.

Choose plump, smooth-surfaced seed taro without wounds. Disinfect them in advance, prepare the land and dig trenches about 5 cm deep. The planting method is very simple. Just place the seed taro diagonally in the trench with a spacing of about 5 cm. Cover them with a film and they will soon emerge.
