I got two tubers of yam sometimes last year, we cooked the first one, but while eating it, we discovered it was not sweet at all.

Since we can't just throw money away like that, we left the second yam there.

Lo and behold, after some time, the second yam started growing right there inside a tiled kitchen, even without been rooted in the subsoil.
It continues to grow rapidly but without leaf.
I took the picture of it as seen below in December 2021.
(Note: it has grown beyond this level now)
I want to see how far it can grow on the tiled surface in the kitchen.

As I be Architect, my biology no reach that level but I know we have botanist in house who can educate us about what is happening.

Kindly push to front page, let learn from professionals

Such is common in the village where yams are being keep.

They start to grow on the surface of the earth.

If you have ban you'll understand.

Incredible

Nature

Wow it's the cold tiles

Very good and courageous lesson.

No matter how hard things are irrespective of the situation try to survive, that's what it means.

This is normal occurrence in yam and even onion, that is what we call photosynthesis....

People are looking for food to eat.
This one is experimenting on something he would have given to someone in need....
U would rather let a yam grow on thhe kitchen floor than give it out...
Stingy OP.

As the only qualified Botanist in this forum certified by all member of this forum,I professor Merits.(MON).I hereby telling you that the yam will grow and multiply to thousands in the next three months,and as you said that the yam was not sweet that's why you abandoned it.Let me give a trick as a worldwide experienced Botanist.just sprinkle some sugar on the yam as it is,within 30 minutes of sprinkle the sugar the yam will absorbed the sugar through a process called osmosis .so therefore the seeds produce aftermath will surely sweet like amount of sugar you poured on to the mother yam.

let me stop here so people won't tap from my complex knowledge.

So you mean una no dey cook for that kitchen or nobody saw when the mouth sprouted?

Or you mean ayam stewpeed?

Yes.. I had one like that and I kept wondering wetin dey sup

Abeg plant more yams there.


The tiles soil is fertile.

Plants do not necessarily need soil to germinate and thrive except for anchorage. This practice of growing plants in solution consisting of only essential nutrients is known as Hydroponics. The yam is able to derive moisture, essential nutrients from the yam tuber itself. The outgrowth typically has some green parts containing chlorophyll through which the plant can photosynthesize. After few weeks, leaf formation could set in. Be cautious, the yam will eventually dry out if the yam is unable to use it's root to obtain nutrients.

This is not new please. It's not abnormal, okay?

It is not a new thing na...

Make dem go put stick for there na make the yam grow well, dirty illiterate people

It will keep growing till the entire Tuber rots away. But it won't reproduce

Oya make big ridge for it and thank me later.
A Mechanical Engineer needs a job please.
Indian managers have recked my present company,we have been sent out.

This is wow. Though the vine is feeding from its tubers and getting moisture from the room too. But it won't have a tuber over time
