Amorphophallus aphyllus - Seed-grown seedling tuber

This is a holy grail Amorphophallus species. It is extremely uncommon in cultivation but creates some of the most incredible flowers of any Amorphophallus. This African species has a quick growing season where it quickly sprouts from rich, well-draining, sandy soil, grows for a few months, then goes dormant again. While dormant, it requires completely dry conditions. We keep all of ours sitting in the office - no soil, low humidity, nothing!
