Amorphophallus Titanum zaailing

een sterke zaailing van ongeveer 25 tot 35 cm.

The Amorphophallus titanum is one of the most astonishing plants in the world because the biggest inflorescences in this species have been recorded over 2 meters high! The are rightfully called titan arum.

The care of Amorphophallus titanum is relatively easy, the titan likes a soil mixture which drains fast so the tuber won’t rot, to make this mix approx. 30% perlite or seramis can be added to regular potting soil. In contrast to what is often said Amorphophallus titanum doesn’t like continiously moist soil, this greatly increases the chance for the tuber to rot. The Amorphophallus titanum thrives excelent in a window sill with night time minima of 15 degrees C.

During the dormancy of the titan the tuber can be safely stored in slightly moist perlite at approx. 20 degrees C, new growth will emerge within several months generally.

Germination of the Amorphophallus titanum is easiest in moist perlite at 25-30 degrees C and will occur within several weeks after which the germinated seed can be potted and grown in the window sill.
