How to Grow and Care for Yam

Yam, also known as Anena

Yam is a resilient plant that thrives with minimal care, making it an easy addition to many gardens. Key care points include ensuring it has well-draining soil to prevent root rot and providing moderate to full sunlight to encourage strong growth. It's notably drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established. Special care should be taken to control its spread as yam can become invasive in favorable conditions.
