Tacca chantrieri is a tropical plant that loves a high level of air humidity. This can be enhanced by ensuring that the axils between the leaves and the stem are always filled with water. This also encourages the budding of the next flower. Keep the compost moist, but empty surplus water from the drip tray. Keep away from the direct sunlight, and feed regularly.
