Titan Arum

     Amorphophallus titanum (Titan Arum, Bunga Bangkai or "Corpse flower") - No matter what you decide to call it (some even name theirs), there will be no mistake on what it is or ever detract attention from all who look upon its magnificent appearance. Best kept in a greenhouse environment unless you live in a tropical zone 10 conditions, these unrealistic plants just ooze oddity displaying the largest true flower in the world. While not in bloom and this will for a good length of time), you can enjoy its dark green unusual leafy lobed vegetation that should grow to 10 feet tall on a tree like stem. As a member of the aroid family, its not a difficult plant to grow and anyone with slightly green thumb should be able to enjoy this and anticipate its bloom. When you do get yours to bloom, you should alert the media as it could attract world wide attention (not to mention the neighbors as it emits its odorous perfume). That is an understatement of course as this flowers odor is described as a repulsive, "rotting-fish-with-burnt-sugar" scent to attract the plant's pollinators. Willing to put up with this a few diligent folks have had to cover their nose. You should have excellent results nurturing this giant aroid by growing it in bright indirect light with moist, rich in compost, well draining soil, high humidity and a regular supply of fertilizer. There is really no way the photo on the right below can bring out the true feel unless you were actually standing under it. From this glimpse it appears to look as any other cool tropical. Once you actually stand under one this size (most likely about 5-8 years old) you will feel its tree like presence as you are shaded and towered by its ONE gigantic leaf. The ones offered here have not gone dormant for the season yet. They may or may not, depends on what they feel like doing really. There seems to be no known reason for when they go dormant. The tubers on the ones pictured below are most likely about 40-50 pounds or more in weight and very large.
