Brian,

The above sites give more info. You propagate them by dividing the tuber, kind of like cutting a potato in half. After cutting a tuber in half it should be allowed to dry for a few days before planting so it doesn't immmediately rot.

When you plant a tuber it can take from 2 - 6 weeks for it to produce a leaf. It is going to produce roots first, then leaves. The amount of time will depend on the health of the tuber, how quickly it grows roots, it will grow roots faster in a warm sunny location. If you have more guestions feel free to write again. Good luck.
