The Amorphophallus will produce a single leaf from the underground tuber, but this leaf will have a tree-like appearance. This three-branched, single trunked structure will appear to have many “leaves”, but each is just a portion of the whole, which itself is the actual leaf. Well-grown specimens can become large enough to serve as a patio umbrella for the summer. The plant naturally goes dormant for the winter. The plant will flower only once in every few years. The flower may have a very strong odor to attract flies to pollinate. Sometimes the flower doesn’t have the distinctive smell. The flower’s actually looks like a little pile of rotting meat on a not too clean plate. Hm… The picture describes it so much better! The flowering is fairly rapid from bud to bloom to wilting. Every day it looks different. After the bloom wilted away, the tuber may push a leaf too. The double effort will exhaust the tuber’s resources and may need years to regain full blooming power. Hardiness Zone – 9-10. This is a tender plant and will not tolerate frost. Bloom – May last only a day once fully opened. Winter – Over-winter the dormant tuber in slightly moist soil, protected from frost Mature Height – This plant will grow to 3’ Sun – Prefers bright light, but will tolerate partial shade. Water – Keep soil evenly moist. Fertilizer – Use a balanced fertilizer. Soil – This plant needs well draining mix, rich in organic materials. Container – This is an excellent container plant. Only a well developed large bulb will bloom. Plant the bulb in very rich but well aerated, well draining soil and fairly large pot. This will ensure the rapid growth of the plant.
