Product description
This Amorphophallus species is found only in Borneo and grows there in the lowland rainforest at altitudes between 300 and 500 meters. It is a relatively large species, with the leaves reaching a height of 180 cm in the tropics. The petiole is heavily mottled and sometimes appears to be covered in lichen. The inflorescence has a green-purple spathe and a white-pink spadix. After pollination, it is followed by orange-yellow fruits with 1 seed in each.The plant grows from an underground bulb with 1 leaf at a time. Each time a leaf is succeeded by a larger leaf, storing more and more energy in the bulb. When it is large enough, the plant will be able to flower. Usually this succeeds from a weight of about 1 kg. The plant can be kept well as a houseplant, but a higher temperature of 25-30grC is eventually needed for flowering. Provide a well-drained soil and keep it constantly slightly moist. When the plant goes dormant (which is not common with this species), it is good to keep the soil a little less moist. In addition, a light location without direct sunlight is suitable.
Sowing description:The already germinated seed can be sown directly in well-drained soil with organic material and e.g. perlite. For the first development a temperature of 25-30grC is optimal.

Zaden zijn na een week of 2 gekiemd in een serre tunnel zonder direct zonlicht bij een dagtemperatuur tussen de 25°C en 28°C , een nachttemperatuur van 20°C een een RV van 70%. Het mengsel dat ik heb gebruikt bestaat uit compost met een vrij hoge CEC gemengd met een kleine fractie bims in een ratio van 1:1. Het mengsel wordt vochtig gehouden maar niet nat om knolrot te voorkomen. Ben nog aan het besluiten wanneer en hoe ik de plantjes ga afharden. Verder zeeer tevreden, de zaden verkeerde bij aankomst in goede gezondheid en zijn relatief snel gaan groeien. Het blad ziet er ook gezond uit dus plantje is blij en ik ben ook blij :)))
Seeds arrived in excellent condition, very professional and kind assistance. I highly recommend this site.
It arrived quickly and the seed was nice and moist. I sowed it and a few days later it emerged. Now the seed turned into a bulb. Great!
Seed arrived already with a small root and growth point and is already growing it’s second leaf.
