Description: The Corpse Flower, also known as Amorphophallus Titanum or Titan Arum, is the world’s largest unbranched inflorescence (cluster of flowers on a main stem). This cluster of flowers is wrapped in a tall green spathe, surrounded by a deep burgundy bloom resembling the color and texture of flesh. This, along with the pungent odor and near-human body temperature, help the flower to attract its main pollinators: carrion-eating insects such as dung beetles and flesh flies. Germination Medium: Choose a well-draining and sterile germination medium. A common mixture includes peat moss, perlite, and sand. Fill small pots or seed trays with this medium. Planting: Make a small hole or depression in the germination medium and place the seed inside, making sure it is not completely buried. Gently press the medium around the seed to secure it. Moisture and Warmth: Maintain a consistently moist but not waterlogged environment. Cover the pots or trays with a plastic dome or place them in a sealed plastic bag to create a humid environment. The ideal temperature for germination is around 75-85°F (24-29°C). Patience and Time: Germinating Amorphophallus titanum seeds can take a long time, often several months or more.
