Amorphophallus Konjac Rivieri

Amorphophallus Konjac bulb that I potted a week ago. Not exactly weed but, probably still interesting


It’s been growing super fast, so I’m gonna start posting updates here

This is the stuff that lipozene is made from. You planning on eating it?

I really like amorphous’s, I’ve had my konjac for about 2 years now and the tuber is about the size of regular potato. I’ve seen one pic of the konjac this one guy had and it looked about as big as A. titanarum.

I’m definitely watching this thread. Sadly though I haven’t had mine flower for me and I’m kinda scared to give it full sun.

Hopefully it blooms next year, seems to be big enough. as for direct light, im not exactly sure. I have mine in part shade but might move it somewhere just a bit brighter when it starts foliating

Cool stuff. I had never heard of this plant before outside its native habitat where it is used as a source of food for the poor because it makes you feel more full than you are.

Am I just ignorant and this is a common house plant around the world?

I wouldn’t say common, but its certainly grown as a houseplant!

Got a growth update today, gained an inch or so, the tip of the leaf is staring to show as well


Aside from this, two of my sauromatums popped up today.
might start doing updates on those

Why not?


Gonna do the same thing I do with my amorphophallus and only show the plant with the most growth as to not clog the thread

Got a big on today! Both amorphos have starting pushing up leaves, big ones got a muscadine seedling growing with it which I might let stay tbh.

The sauromatums are showing good growth too, they’ve gained color!
