Little Arrowhead Bulbs (Nga Koo) From My Garden.

I did a previous post on "Chinese Arrowhead Shoots Growing In My Garden" and you can click here if you are interested to read about it. And this post is an update on the progress of the arrowhead shoots growing in my garden. Initially, I was very diligent in watering the arrowhead shoots and keeping them moist throughout the day. After a while with a few short holidays in between, I sort of forgotten about the arrowhead shoots. 

Now with the hot season, the leaves of the arrowhead shoots are not as healthy as before. They are no longer dark green and the leaves are smaller in size. I think it is now about 6 months since the shoots appeared and I was curious whether there are arrowheads forming under the shoots.

To satisfy my curiosity, I carefully dug out one of the bigger plants to check and these were what I have found.

I found some small bulbs of nga koo or arrowheads.

The big round one were about the size of a fifty cents coin and there were smaller ones. I returned the arrowhead bulbs to the pots, covered up with soil and hope they will continue to grow. Maybe I will dig out one of the bigger shoots in a few months time to check again.

These are the leaves stalks. They are spongy with air spaces throughout the length of the stalks.

This together with the roots intact, I planted them back into the soil.

Hopefully in a few months time, I will have another update post to share.

Who knows, I might even get to harvest a few arrowheads from my garden. Lol!
