• Genus: Amorphophallus
• Botanical Background: Has been studied by a number of botanists specializing in tropical flora. Its description by Hett., A.Galloway, and Medecilo has provided valuable insights into its unique morphological traits.

• Geographical Range: Native to tropical regions, where it can be found in lowland rainforests and areas with abundant moisture.
• Environment: Humid, warm climates with rich, well-draining soils; adapted to environments that experience consistent high humidity and moderate temperatures.

Leaves

• Large, heart-shaped leaves 
• Textured surface
• Deep green coloration
• With subtle patterning

Inflorescence (Spadix & Spathe)

• Urn-shaped spathe that displays shades of green, cream, or pale yellow
• Spadix is central to the bloom
• May emit a mild scent
• Less pungent than some of its relatives

Growth Habit

• Terrestrial 
• Develops from a sizable tuber or rhizome
• Produces singular, dramatic inflorescence during its flowering phase

Light Requirements

• Bright, indirect light

Watering & Humidity

• Regular watering
• Ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged
• High humidity levels 

Soil & Potting Mix

• A well-aerated, organic-rich potting mix
• Containers with ample drainage holes 

Temperature & Fertilizer

• Temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F
• Balanced liquid fertilizer applied during the growing season 

Division and Stem Cuttings

• Division of the tuber or rhizome
• Careful division during the dormant phase

Seeds

• Less frequently used due to longer germination times and variability in seed viability

Typical Issues

• Spider mites and mealybugs
• Fungal root rot

Treatment Recommendations

• Organic insecticidal soaps
• Ensure proper drainage
• Chemical treatments should be considered only as a last resort

• Urn-shaped bloom 
• Unique morphology contributes to local folklore
• Emphasizes its ecological role in tropical pollination networks

• Unusual floral structure and impressive foliage

Wild Population Status

• Not currently listed as endangered
• Habitat loss in tropical regions calls for ongoing monitoring and conservation efforts

Market Availability

• Moderately available through specialty nurseries and botanical exchanges
