🌱 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Growing Taro

In this video, I share 10 lessons I learned the hard way while growing taro (talo/kalo) in Aotearoa — especially in colder climates.

From overwintering and propagation to why taro takes patience, this kōrero is for anyone wanting to grow kai the way our tīpuna did.

I also talk about the lack of written mātauranga Māori on taro, why kōrero with whānau is so important, and why every grower needs an Uncle Kala.

This video is dedicated to him — and to all those quietly holding knowledge for the next generation.
