Tacca chantrieri

The tacca plant has come back. Lookin soo good too. So ready for a flower they are going to be huge.🐲🌼

OK my fellow garden taggers I need everyones opinion. This is a NEW bat growing. Cool right I dunno. So should I let it grow and prolly have 2 smaller bats or snip it and transfer the energy. But if I do that it just might force another to grow. Snip or not to snip help me GTers.

@cyndi thanks for the link and the likes but I'm sad to say she did not survive had bugs it was sad. But i have 2 on order. Can't wait till they come.

Starting to look so weird.

Antici...pation...

ha yes miss @lesliecole49

Interesting I love it

@angel1985 thanks for your interest lemme say I got it off eBay if you want one but mine was nearly dead when it got here. Plus customs might send it back

Yeah I tried ebay plants ordered 15 aloe took two months to receive 13 rotted aloe so I don't trust ebay anymore lol

Thus plant is new to me I don't anything about how it grows, but I know this is not a leaf. Plant may be to young yet to fully develope the flower but this may grow to be the first flower. I'm so excited how cool.

Looks like the flower

Tacca plant Progress. Look at the shine on that leaf.

These are so interesting. I'll have some one day

@lesliecole49 I have recently ordered a white tacca plant coming from Thailand again.

White would be awesome along side the black

I'm getting excited to see one when it's bloomed I never heard of a bat plant it's nice your showing us different stages

Do you face book @terrimclaughlin you would be able to see many more pictures of this guy. And soon a white one.

So I have a snail on my tacca.( ha that is a good rock song.) Is he a good visitor or should I move him along.

I'd move him right along to the garbage. Where there is one there are many hiding. Will eat holes in plant. Can google how to make a slug trap.

Thanx I will do just that.

I put salt on slugs and watch them dry up

@hannahchristine lol, I just moved him along it was just the one.

Thats good

So it traveled from the Orient had a stay over at customs. And what seems like a long month of praying, but yes there was life in my taca root. First leaf of her new life in the states.😆😆😆😆😆😆

So awesome

Thanx @hannahchristine I have been hoping it would come back to life. Can't wait for my first bloom now.

I cant wait id love to see a pic on here of the bloom when it happens

Congratulations! They're such a cool flower
