| I have two S. guarantica in the garden. One is up and growing about a foot tall, looks healthy. The other has done nothing, but now was dug up by a gopher/packrat. So I have this baseball size tuber with 2 tuber fingers off the bottom. The large tuber was oozing from being chewed on, and had green wet flesh.
Question, 1) Do you think it still might push stems.

| Ugh... this is why all my S. guaranitica cultivars are still in pots -- I'm afraid that the gophers will get them! I should probably invest in some "cages" so I can put them in the ground. I'd give it another try, but in a pot, at least initially. Sounds like there is still a fair bit of tuber left. Don't know if you want to let it "heal"/ dry out for a little while, first? This is my first year growing this plant, but my general experience with tubers is that they can be quite resilient. Good luck! |
