Amorphophallus (Titan Arum) & Pseudodracontium

Titan Arums and the closely related genus Pseudodracontium include several species with some of the largest inflorescences within the floral kingdom. They usually develop only a single, large leaf on a stout stem, resembling almost a tree-trunk. All make one long rhizomatous or a round corm (a "bulb"), weighing up to 60kg in their largest member, namely Amorphophallus titanum from Sumatra. The offered subtropical species remain a little bit more manageable for their overall smaller size and easily cultivated. They will thrive in any humus rich, well drained substrate (with up to 70% peat added). As soon as they start to grow (usually in spring) they require sufficient warmth with a minimum of some 20°C and a semi-moist soil in a partially shaded spot. As soon as the leaf starts to yellow (which is usually in autumn), keep plants rather dry at a minimum of some 10°C. Store corms in a warmer spot with beginning of spring the following year and carefully restart to water as soon as the new leaf appears from the center of the corm. With maturity plants may form an inflorescence instead of a leaf. After flowering most specimens will usually form a new leaf in the same year. Please note that plants marked as "flowering size" in the shop do not necessarily flower the year of potting, but are mature plants for their weight, i.e. they will not increase in size anymore.
All plants are available in small quantities only and the rarer ones will usually sell out within few days !
