Amorphophallus Albus - Unique Plants

Amorphophallus albus is a little-known but easy-to-grow amorphophallus, native to the Yunnan Province of China.

The stalks of Amorphophallus albus are either solid green or green with grey spots, and topped with a glossy green leaf. Amorphophallus albus is a rapidly offsetting species.

Amorphophallus albus is more tolerant of over-watering and rotting than many others. Producing a typical umbrella shaped Amorphophallus leaf up to 80cm in diameter on a stem that is up to 70cm long, the inflorescence is creamy white and held on top of a 40cm long petiole. 

Grow in a well drained but rich soil. Fertilise once a month with a weak liquid feed for the first few months of active growth whilst the leaf is unfurling and the roots are growing. A dilute solution of a high Phosphate feed towards the latter stages of the growing season can help increase tuber size – all important when growing amorphophallus on to flowering size. Ease off the watering as the plant begins to enter dormancy towards the end of the season.

Store the tubers dry when dormant at room temperature. It is safe to store Amorphophallus albus out of the soil when dormant.
