Hi Rosalind, If you intend to grow your tuber's in pot's, then I would suggest that you use a soil based compost with plenty of added drainage material such as grit or gravel. The tubers do not like to be waterlogged they will rot. The garlic cloves are young tubers and can be potted up and grown on. Finally add plenty of slow release fertilizer to build the corm up. Almost forgot, if it start's to flower indoors take it outside it smells terrible and will attract every fly in the vicinity . Good Luck, Your's Colin. Rosalind wrote:Hi folks!

I'm pretty much a lurker on this list, because I have just a few aroids as
houseplants. However, I saw some pictures of Dracunculus vulgaris, and had
one of those "can't live without them" reactions, so I purchased a few
tubers.
