[A476] Amorphophallus titanum, Corpse Flower, Corpse Plant
The famous corpse flower is renown for having the largest inflorescence in the world. It blooms over a few days and produces a stench like carrion in order to attract its pollinators.
We have found Amorphophallus titanum to be easy growers in our warm greenhouse. We grow it in a mix of equal parts peat, perlite/pumice and orchid bark and use 1/2 strength osmocote plus applied in the soil every 6 months. We make sure it's always above 60 degrees with high humidity. They die down to their corms periodically and will rest for a few months before putting out new stems. Given appropriate conditions, they will produce huge corms weighing over 100 pounds and will bloom in 5-10 years. First photo used with permission from Andrew Stevens. Bloom at the National Botanical Gardens. The second photo is used with permission from Bill Weaver (master A. titanum grower)
This product is considered an Intermediate Tropical plant. Please see our Aroid Shipping guidelines and Shipping and Guarantees policy.
Most of our products come with multiple shipping options. For those that are unpotted, you can add Pots and Soil a la carte.

Popcorn bidding is an anti-sniping feature that extends the auction time by a small
amount to give each participant a fair chance to place their final bid.
If a bid is placed within the last minute of an auction, the end time
will be extended by an additional 30 seconds. This prevents auction
sniping.
