Caudiciforms: Anyone growing Dioscorea macrostachya?, 1 by MartinDK

Hi,

I am growing a few Dioscoreas: D. mexicana (macrostachya) and D. elephantipes.

My single D. mexicana came out of dormancy a couple of months ago - it slept about 10 months! Two weeks ago the first leaves appeared.

IMHO, dioscoreas are opportunistic growers - some are winter growers and dormant in the summer and vice versa. Some grow all season and never go into dormancy. What is your experience?

Best regards,
