Amorphophallus titanum

One of the most legendary plants in the world — the Corpse Flower — native to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. Famous for producing the largest unbranched inflorescence on Earth and its remarkable cyclic growth habit, alternating between a single massive leaf and a spectacular bloom.

• Light: Bright indirect light during the leaf phase; a sunny windowsill or supplemental grow lighting encourages vigorous corm development.
• Temperature: Warm-growing — 68–86°F (20–30°C). Avoid cold temperatures and frost; this species requires consistent warmth year-round.
• Humidity: 60–80%. Moderate to high humidity preferred; good air circulation is equally important.
• Watering: Water consistently during the active leaf phase; reduce significantly once the leaf senesces and the corm enters dormancy. Never let the corm sit in waterlogged soil.
• Growth Habit: Geophytic tuberous Aroid with a cyclic growth pattern — each season produces a single, large compound leaf on a mottled green-purple pseudostem. The corm grows larger with each cycle, eventually reaching flowering size over many years.

Additional Notes:

Currently offered as a young specimen with a single compound tripartite leaf on a characteristic dark-mottled petiole. Growth is seasonal: after the leaf matures and dies back, the plant enters a dormancy period before flushing again. Years of patient cultivation build the corm to flowering size — a once-in-a-lifetime botanical event. An extraordinary rarity for the serious collector.
