the rhizomes are super easy to start, the seeds not so. On my part it was just an experiment to see if i can do it. I wanted to grow them from seed in a smallish pot not in the ground and bring it from FL to NJ. then cut it down in fall and bring it back to FL to continue growing.
And i did just that. I need taller plants to give some shade relief in FL on my balcony and help support other plants in the wind.
They are still growing in the same 1 gal pots, so instead of being 5' tall they reach to the railing or so. Growing non-stop until now, but they do slow down in Jan-Fab when it drops to mid-50F at night. No blooms: my are indica grown for edible tubers, leaves can be used for wraps too. Although i never use them that way.
here they are in 21
and in 23:
i am thinking of giving them a rest (drying up in a pot until spring).
