Amorphophallus kiusianus
Kyushu Voodoo Lily
Description
Amorphophallus kiusianus is a fascinating, less commonly known member of the Amorphophallus family, recognized for its unusual flower and interesting growth cycle. This plant grows from a large tuber, producing a single, umbrella-like leaf during its vegetative phase. Its most interesting feature is its large, sometimes foul-smelling flower. The flower emerges directly from the tuber. To ensure it flourishes, use a well-draining soil mix and give it a partially shaded location. The plant needs a dormancy period during which it can be stored. Keep the tuber in a cool and dry place. This plant will add an interesting dimension to any collection.
