1、 Can I eat it

Yam can sprout. Unlike potatoes, this kind of plant sprouts without toxicity. However, as it enters a new growth stage, it often consumes its own nutrients, so its nutritional value will be reduced a little. In addition, for the sake of insurance, you can also cut off the hair buds before eating.

2、 How

The sprouted yam indicates that it has entered the growth period again, so it does not need to be treated too much. Just prepare the soil and bury it. It is usually planted in a place with deep soil layer. If potting, choose a higher pot, so as to make its roots grow fully. The soil is loose and fertile. Do not use too hard substrate, otherwise it will grow completely. After it is planted in the soil, it needs to be poured with an appropriate amount of water to ensure its growth and development.

3、 Other breeding methods

1. Reed head propagation: reed head propagation is a common propagation method of yam. Compared with directly planting the germinated rhizome, the emergence speed of reed head is faster. Generally, the rhizome with strong growth is selected, and the place of its rhizome is cut off with buds on it. After cutting, it should be dried for a few days and stored in sand. Wait until spring to take it out, put it horizontally into the soil, bury it and pour an appropriate amount of water.

2. Zero surplus seed reproduction: Zero surplus seed is yam bean. It is generally picked and preserved during harvest. Pay attention to avoiding light and keep the temperature at 5 ℃. Generally, it is also planted in spring. Those with large particles and no injuries are buried in the soil and watered for germination. Before sowing, apply enough base fertilizer, usually turn the soil 30 cm deep, and apply the fertilizer into it.
