The leaf is borne on a sturdy, mottled stem, which has given the plant its Danish name, \"leopard stem.\" The leaf itself is broad, divided, and umbrella-shaped, and over time it can give the plant an almost palm-like appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the tuber becomes large enough, the plant may produce an impressive inflorescence in dark reddish, purple, and brownish shades instead of a leaf. The flower emits a strong odor for a short period to attract pollinating insects.

During the growing season, it forms a leaf and stores energy in the tuber. When the leaf withers, the plant goes into dormancy. This typically happens in the autumn, but the timing can vary depending on temperature, light, and growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus konjac\u003c\/em\u003e either as a dormant tuber or as a plant in growth. However, they are easiest to ship as tubers. A dormant tuber may look very nondescript, but it contains all of the plant's future growth. A plant in growth has already formed shoots or a leaf and must be treated as an actively growing plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCultivation and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuber should be planted in a spacious pot with well-drained, nutrient-rich, and humus-rich soil. When the tuber shows signs of growth, it is placed in the soil with the growth point facing up and covered with approximately 5-10 cm of soil, depending on the size of the tuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the growing season, the plant thrives best in a bright spot, but without harsh, direct midday sun. Partial shade, filtered light, or a bright location without drying out works well. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but never wet, as the tuber can rot in standing moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring active growth, the plant appreciates regular fertilization.

Once the leaf has completely withered, the tuber can either remain in dry soil or be dug up and stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. We usually store the tubers in a dark, dry place until new growth appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe species is not frost-tolerant and should therefore be grown frost-free in Denmark. A temperature of around 10-15 °C is suitable during the dormant period, while the plant thrives best in warm conditions when in active growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus konjac\u003c\/em\u003e is also known as an important utility plant.

The inflorescence consists of a large spathe in greenish, purple, and dark red shades, which envelops an almost black spadix. During the first day of flowering, it emits a strong odor of carrion, which in nature attracts flies and other pollinating insects. The smell quickly dissipates, while the flower can remain decorative for several days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter flowering, the plant develops a single large, elegant leaf on a sturdy, mottled stem. The leaf is palmately divided and can reach up to a meter in height under good conditions. During the growing season, the plant builds up energy in the tuber, which grows larger year by year while also forming numerous offsets, making the species exceptionally easy to propagate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTuber, plant, and dormancy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSauromatum venosum\u003c\/em\u003e has a distinct dormancy period.

The product can therefore be sold either as a dormant tuber or as a plant in active growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dormant tuber can flower, even without soil or water, if the flower bud is already developed. After flowering – or if the plant does not flower that particular year – the leaf develops when the tuber is planted.

Like many other tuberous plants in the Araceae family, \u003cem\u003eSauromatum venosum\u003c\/em\u003e is sensitive to standing water around the tuber.

Even though the flower is light-colored, it still utilizes the genus's classic strategy and emits a short-lived scent during the flowering period to attract natural pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA species from dry river valleys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus albus\u003c\/em\u003e grows on rocky mountainsides and in dry river valleys, where winters are dry, while the majority of the year's rainfall occurs during the summer.

The species is named after the Chinese province of Yunnan, but its natural distribution also extends through Guangxi and Guizhou as well as parts of Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It grows in environments including forests, scrublands, and mountainous regions and has been found from relatively low altitudes all the way up to several thousand meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wide range in altitude sets \u003cem\u003eA. yunnanensis\u003c\/em\u003e apart from many of the distinctly tropical species in the genus and makes it interesting for collectors who want an \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus\u003c\/em\u003e from more varied natural growth conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA smaller and elegant Amorphophallus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus yunnanensis\u003c\/em\u003e does not belong to the giants of the genus. It develops a dark brown tuber, which in mature plants can reach about 13 cm in diameter. From the tuber grows the characteristic single leaf, which in \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus\u003c\/em\u003e is actually a highly divided leaf and therefore can easily be mistaken for a collection of many smaller leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe petiole is grayish to gray-green and characteristically decorated with light pink to pinkish-white spots. This gives the plant a finely marbled appearance and makes it decorative even when it is not blooming.

While some of the best-known \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus\u003c\/em\u003e species are famous – or infamous – for a very strong smell of carrion, the scent of \u003cem\u003eA. yunnanensis\u003c\/em\u003e has been described as more vegetable-like and carrot-like. The flowering is short-lived, but makes the plant an exciting species to follow through the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnusual blue-violet fruits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the flower is pollinated, it may subsequently develop a decorative infructescence. The fruits are particularly interesting in this species because they change color during ripening. They are first green, then turn blue, and end up with a deep violet color. This distinguishes \u003cem\u003eA. yunnanensis\u003c\/em\u003e from many other species in the genus, where ripe fruits are often orange or red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTuber, plant, and dormancy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus yunnanensis\u003c\/em\u003e is a tuber-forming geophyte with a clear growth and dormant period. The product can therefore be supplied either as a dormant tuber or as a plant in active growth, depending on the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the growing season, the plant uses its large leaf to build energy and increase the size of the tuber.

Strong midday sun should be avoided, especially if the plant is in a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuber should be planted in an airy, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. During active growth, the soil should be kept evenly moist, but it should not be constantly wet.

If you want to try to let the tuber overwinter in the ground, a well-drained location is very important. Winter moisture around the dormant tuber can be at least as problematic as the cold itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant the tuber relatively deep in a humus-rich but well-drained soil and choose a place where the ground does not stay wet in winter.

Hardiness will depend on, among other things, the size of the tuber, soil type, winter moisture, planting depth, and the garden's microclimate. In a sheltered and well-drained location, however, it is a very exciting \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus\u003c\/em\u003e to experiment with as a perennial outdoor plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to be completely sure of preserving the plant, the tuber can naturally also be dug up when the leaf withers in the autumn and overwintered in a dry and frost-free place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOverwintering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the leaf begins to yellow, reduce watering gradually.
