Amorphophallus riveri 'Konjac' corms

[DragonsEye]

Wasn't sure where to put this or even if I'm allowed to do so. (If not then mods please feel free to delete this post and give me a "heads up".) Anywho........

Have a bunch of baby corms from my Amorphophallus 'Konjac' (aka Voodoo Lily) available for the cost of postage.



These corms are at least 4 or 5 years from flowering size I'd say. If you do plant them outside, do NOT plant them right up against the house. Their other common name is "corpse flower" which should be fair warning as to what the flower's fragrance is like. I grow them for the foliage.



Care is easy.
While in active growth, they like moist soil but can handle getting more on the dry side if you forget to water now and then. Full sun to dappled shade works. (In full sun, IME, you get shorter but much sturdier growth than in bright shade.) Don't seem terribly picky about soil type. (I've used cheap potting soil mixed with broken down bark mix from my orchids.) Plant the corms fairly deep -- in pots the top of the corm should be at the pot's half way point or lower as the roots will emerge from the top of the corm.
Hardy to zone 7 (maybe 6) from what I've been told. In the northern climes, they need to be dug up or their pots brought inside after the foliage dies off. If you dig the corms up, then let them dry thoroughly, perhaps brush all the dry dirt off, and toss the corms in a box or hang then in one of those mesh onion bags in an area that stays dry and doesn't freeze. Ignore the corms (whether "naked" or still potted) completely until spring when the temps are staying in the 60's or 70's.

When the corms finally get big enough, they will produce a flower that looks like this (not my photo):
