Amorphophallus titanum seeds – the Titan Arum!

I am very pleased to offer these responsibly sourced Amorphophallus titanum seed.The seed is fresh and in perfect shape, perfectly prepared and stored and many are just starting to germinate.

Seed of this species occasionally crops up for sale but it is often harvested without thought from wild populations. This seed is responsibly sourced from Western Sumatra.

Amorphophallus titanum is the most iconic member of the genus, and can reach the largest proportions of all Amorphophallus. Remarkably, it is a relatively easy plant to grow for the hobbyist. Grow in a good quality well drained compost. We tend to use a 3 part mix of good quality compost, perlite and vermiculite. A heated propagator or heat mat is needed for aiding germination.

Seedlings tend to grow for around 18 months before entering dormancy, after which, store the tubers virtually dry.
