Description
This batch is in active growth, and the foliage in the photo is from a photo taken 6/12/25. They will continue to flatten and widen over the next couple of weeks.
An excellent houseplant for the unique plant grower! Also known as the "Voodoo Lily," Amorphophallus konjac is a unique and easy-to-grow aroid that grows to a 3.5-foot leaf span and develops multiple growths over time due to the corms making new 'pup' offshoots. This plant produces a new leaf each spring, which will grow and feed the corm until it sheds the foliage and rests for several months. After many years of this cycle, the tuber sends up a 5-foot tall flower that smells like rotten meat to attract its pollinator, flies, and carrion beetles. These plants are blooming-size when the corm reaches the size of a baseball. They like frequent water and fertilizer in summer. Once blooming size, they usually flower every 2 to 3 years in between. The hotter you grow, the faster they can re-flower (Southern USA is a great place to grow these outdoors).
Fun fact: In Japan, the corms are turned into gelatinous noodles and bars and used as a zero-calorie food, as the body cannot digest these. It is also considered a 'gut cleanser'. They market the product as 'konyaku', and it is now available in the US food industry often at your local supermarket!
Our plant sizes are as follows:
5" Pot - mid-sized plants, roughly 2 years to blooming size.
6" Pot - mid-sized/large plants, roughtly 1 to 2 years to blooming size.
