r/amorphophallus

So I brought a Sauromatum venosum bulb from the store sometime ago and it flowered, I panicked a little and cut the stem off and it rotted the top of the bulb

I left it in the media it was in (also in my room) for a good few months I think 😅 and now... There's a tiny baby bulb forming from it! What DO I DO!?

Here’s a list of why:

1. It sizes up fast.
2. It’s relatively easy
3. The tuber is round and sizes up uniformly (unlike some species which grow elongating tubers that require a special pot)
4. It’s not leggy. The petiole is very short compared to other species.
5. Both the leaf and bloom are absolutely gorgeous.

It’s a no compromise species.

So about 3/4th of my Amorphophallus are potted up and starting to slowly wake up. About 20 are left. And of course all the new orders that will come in the next few months.

Current Amorphophallus species count: 83

Definitely overdid it in the 5 months im collecting.

So my bulbifer and saurus are still doing their thing.

So the smaller one has roots trying from the top by the big boy didn’t…should I just spray the big boy and hope for roots?

I just got this titanum in the mail a few days ago. The leaf is extremely light green. Should I do anything special to try to darken it up (fertilizer, etc) or just wait? I currently have it at 80 degrees and 80% humidity. I'm hoping the leaf doesn't die and it bounces back. I'm keeping it out of direct sunlight and it is receiving light from my LED lights. Thank you!
