Description
Cultivated as a crop in many countries of Southeast Asia due to its edible bulbs, this giant arum is also captivating as an ornamental plant due to its striking appearance. Its black-green, brightly spotted trunk can grow up to two meters long, which, together with its dark green foliage, almost gives it the appearance of a small tree. However, its long purple flower bulbs, which form when well cared for and are surrounded by a large, brightly spotted bracts, are a particular eye-catcher.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- To help the bulb sprout, it can be kept moderately moist in garden soil, then water more sparingly!
- Habitat/Light requirements: partial shade to light, but avoid direct sunlight
- Substrate: high quality garden soil (sand/loam mixture) with good drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 15 - 28 °C° C, do not let cool down below 10° C
- Watering: water moderately with low-lime, lukewarm water about 1-2 times per week during the growing season, in winter no more than 1 time per month
- Humidity: moderately high humidity, avoid heating air, spray occasionally
- Nutrient addition: in the growth phase, fertilize weakly with diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Repot once a year when the soil is heavily rooted.
- Discards foliage in winter and must survive as a bulb. Then water sparingly every 4 weeks at most.
