A yam plant typically requires about 1 to 2 inches of water per week during its growing season. This can vary based on soil type, climate, and growth stage. It's essential to maintain consistent moisture, especially during tuber development, while avoiding waterlogging, which can harm the roots. Proper irrigation management ensures healthy growth and optimal tuber yield.
