Especially as Tropic says..with newly repotted plants. I am conservative till I see new growth, then I'll up it to maybe 3/4 strength. When your not sure, it's always best to add slowly. Tacca's grow FAST once they get going. I have all 3 , white - black- and just potted up tubers for the green. I got the white and black as liners, put them in 4 in pots, and in two weeks they were ready for 6 in. pots.
They get the "stinky stuff" 1/2 strength every other watering. I also keep them in a tray that is sitting in another tray that I keep water in. So they are not sitting in water, but they have very high humidity.
