You will receive 1 dormant bulbs sizes shown in the photo. The flower photo was sourced from google as im yet to flower this species yet.
A huge growing species from Australia and into south east asia, the leaf can get to over 3m tall and the corms can get to 20kg+. This species does well planted in the ground due to its size but a large pot with adequate fertiliser will also do well. In my opinion the usual rule of thumb of a pot 4x the width of the corm doesnt match paeoniifolius, I would aim for larger again though I havent figured out the perfect size yet.
Amorphophallus also like quite alot of fertiliser during the growing season and not let to dry out completely(similar watering to nepenthes). During autumn they will go dormant often collapsing over a few days. At which point I dig them up, wash the bulbs up and store them in a cool dry place until spring rolls back around when I will pot them back up into my chosen mix, 50/50 potting soil and perlite and 25/25/50 potting soil, coco chips and perlite have both worked well for me. Pot up in early spring and hold off watering till new growth emerges from the pot.
