Repot an Amorphophallus titanum (Corpse Flower) - Ep. 247

[@taylorjoe]

This is so nostalgic to me! I was fortunate enough to do this at the botanical gardens in Basel where I worked a short while. There were 6 of us to help, it was quite a large specimen, still doing well, and still threatening to bust through the top of the green house.

[@bronxbaubles]

I got a chance to see the corpse flower at the Bronx botanical gardens a few years back. It didn’t stink as badly as most say it did. Lol

[@alid4789]

What a special thing to see! I don’t know about anyone else but I have never seen a titanum let alone repot one!

[@LifeRomanticized]

I never thought I would be interested in watching a project like this. Summer, you never cease to impress me!

[@argasatrio4526]

my grandma used to have this in her backyard, and we called it titan arum. she lived in lampung (indonesia) if you wanna know.

[@intanmustikasari8367]

Well I thought I was the only person from Lampung :D

Indonesia, especially Borneo is so blessed with such wonders.

Hi Summer, loving your Botanical adventures and visits, keep up the great work! The way to trigger Titan arums for flowering is to leave the precious tuber out to dry for a couple of months then repot. Flowered the first Titan in Sydney and second In Australia when i was at The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. Amazing plants.

[@grannyplants1764]

For a couple of dollars I get big Konjac tubers when they’re in at the local Indian markets, no flowers yet but it makes a pretty plant. Those markets also have lots of things to grow- fresh dates, breadfruit, Litchee nuts, Elephant ears/Arvi, lemongrass, Moringa seed pods, ginger or turmeric rhizomes, fresh sugar cane, etc. All dirt cheap and such fun to watch grow! 🌿🌱🌾

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Try more sun, enough energy to get around to flowering. With enough they can go every second year, but need the rain also to keep up.

[@grannyplants1764]

@@whatilearnttoday5295 thank you for the info, I made a note in my plant book . Do you fertilize with anything?

Love this! I have my own A. Titaum and some other amorphophallus at home. No where near as big at those though lol. Hopefully one day!

We use to have it in our garden, Still I can remember back in my childhood! @Rayne 😊

So many great videos back to back. 😁🌳✌🏻

[@dewantoroo]

I remember when i was a child we used to go out at night and play. One time me and my friends pass through abandoned feild and we smelled this horrible scent.... it was dark. we were kids and start assuming it's a ghost or something. We fled as fast as possible and go back to our own house and tell our parents about it 🤣 The next day the neighborhood were on search of the source of the smell. Because apparently a long time a ago there was a urban legend of "wild tiger" digging a new grave and dragging the corpse around, allegedly it's some kind of dark magic ritual where one will turn themselves to an animal and steal a corpse from a graveyard. Of course it's a bullcrap, because it turned out just to be three beautiful amorphophallus paeoniifolius in bloom, yes three of them 👁️👄👁️

[@sdqsdq6274]

unexplain horrid smell is demon not ghost , if smell good its Pontianak , lol

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

@@sdqsdq6274 Amorphophallus smell sweet in a way. It's definitely a corpse compound, but it's not unpleasant.

I got to see it at Kew this year before the bloom. I love how Rafflesia is Vileplume as a Pokemon

[@Yoliplanting]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. This is so interesting. Summer can you grow one in your greenhouse at Fingerflock?

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Yes!!! it is a good medium to use. I love Lambert medium..too bad in my area, I see less and less of the product!

[@xerballena4775]

That is very common plnts here in our place in the Philippines

[@JeraldBaliteTV]

Yes

[@leeflailmarch]

Love this but was expecting the plant being repotted to be the same exact one in the thumbnail.

[@JH-lz4dh]

Ummmm I just made my own mix for my sundews with Coco coir and this must be why they're not happy!! Too much salt ! OOOOOOPS! Gonna give them a good soak now! Thanks guys.

Summer, It would be pretty cool if you can bring Indigenous plant enthusiasts on the "Tube." Just a thought.

[@germanplantguy3133]

Does the corpse flower, after it flowered, die or does it go dorment?

[@azkiin601]

The flower dies off, but a new plant grows from the tuber and the cycle repeats.

[@KalodexD]

For a moment I thought they were zz roots, they're so big!

[@onchanpoon-iam9713]

In Thailand, we call it “ต้นอีบุก / E-book “.

[@sheilalefebvre8667]

Did I hear Ryan say they use fertilizer on the nepenthes? I was told never to fertilize mine…and I haven’t for as long as I have had him, which is two years now. Should I be??

[@FlameVulpin14]

You can fertilize carnivorous plants I've often see MaxSea and Osmacote as the most common fertilizers. Nepenthes are usually a little more forgiving than other carnivores when it comes to nutrients and minerals. I don't fertilize my N. Ventrata, it collects a lot of fungus gnats and yellow jackets during the summer when I have it outside and that feeds it.

[@mubaroktaman4688]

Nice

[@Purwapada]

just wait till you see my A. gigas!!! btw, he says about storing the tubers, I Don't recommend that! A. titanum and other forest species can die if they get dried out. (I killed one of my titanums by doing that RIP lol)

Wooow

There are smaller varieties in Palawan island, Philippines. But the locals hate them coz they say it smells like a dead animal. i am editing a video for my Top 100 Flowers in Philippines. This would have a spot in the Top 5.

I think this tuber is edible, yam flower look very similar

[@eSheeep]

Thinking and knowing are two things. Just because they have similar looks doesn't mean they share similar traits. Potatoes make fruit that look like tomatoes, but are inedible.

[@ArcsandSparks315]

Please don’t use peat for anything horticulture. There are sustainable alternatives like coconut.

[@eSheeep]

You have not watched the video. He talked about coconut and its issues. You have to buffer it first and buffering coconut to the point where carnivorous plants would tolerate it is a very, *very* annoying and costly thing to do in large quantities as a small business or private person. Pre buffered coco comes with its price.

[@ArcsandSparks315]

@@eSheeep that doesn’t negate the fact that use of peat destroys ecosystem and should be outlawed.

[@eSheeep]

@@ArcsandSparks315 And coconuts don't grow everywhere on the planet, their transportation burns fossil fuels. They waste tons of water and electricity in their reprocessing and produce the same amount of sewage, ... And a plethora of other issues. There's more sides to a coin than one.
