Alocasia and colocasia... differance ?

Well went to hyson green today (ethnic part of Nottingham) and there green grocers have some weird and wonderful veg I've never seen before.
Picked up half a dozen eddoes for a couple of quid

What to do with them now, having read conflicting advice I'm unsure.
Some say leave them leave in a dry place and they will sprout
Some say bag method in airing cupboard.
Which methods did you use?

 

I put mine in a pot of compost next to the radiator but under the window,i just sprayed the top so it didnty completey dry out x

 

I put mine in the airing cupboard using the bag method which worked at first, sprouting in a couple of weeks but they were soon covered in fungus as I think they were too hot.
Joolz's method is probably better.

 

I think its just the matter of keeping the compost warmish and some light,ive got a bulb that i left in the same pot as the canna(from autumn) in the GH and its got a small leaf openining i thought they would of died over winter...time yet thou x

 

Quick squirt with a fungicide before you bag them up works with me

 

a quick update , mine is alive and kicking in the greenhouse hope its gets through to the spring , but I had to cut all the leaves off I coudnt fit it through the door of the greenhouse, wrapped in fleece and old polystyrene squares around the base of the pot.

 

All plants in the GH are dosed with sulpher powder here precautions are OCD
damp winters can kill anything on this plant!!!

 

Potted 3 into separate zip locks bags and 3 loose.
All been placed in the airing cupboard.

 

I`ve tryed many way , but the best one is wet sand in the heated propagator

 

Only one problem there @sal73 my heated propagators full

 

Just be carefull with fungi and mould ... but if you choiced the bulb wisely they should be ok , I`m actually would like to try new way of doing myself .

 

One advantage of the baggie method is that you can see any mould or rot, and adjust the amount of moisture. If rot does occur, in a small spot, you could probably cut it out without affecting the tuber as a whole.

If its in a pot, by the time you discover rot it will be too late. But the best thing to do is to spread your bets as you have done Mowgley.

 

I have steeped them in Hydrogen Peroxide in the past, then rinsed, and then into bags until they sprout. They fizz nicely in the H2O2 so I presume it is doing something - including killing the bulbs if left soaking too long :(

 

Update 2 of the eddoes are showing green shoots
What do I do with them now?
Pot on into pots? Completely cover or not?

 

have you any roots yet
