How to Care for Amorphophallus Decus-Silvae

Climate: In West Java Indonesia, the wet season is roughly from November through March. This is also the time when Amorphophallus Decus-Silvae is actively leafing and has roots to take up the abundance of moisture during this period. During the dry period however, the tubers do not have roots to take up moisture as quickly so it is best to keep it humid but not wet.

Soil: These tubers do best in an airy chunky mix that does not stay wet for too long. A consistently wet environment may cause tuber rot. We generally pot ours in a 70/30 Perlite and Coco Coir Mix.

Fertilize: Fertilize in a diluted phosphorous rich solution regularly for best results.
