James Stevens Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi, I use two parts John Innes No3/ one part corse grit-and sit the tubers on a little bed of sand to help prevent rotting. I feed every other watering in summer. Hope this helps' James Bonjour for these 2 genus what substrate use you ? jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewLuton Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I am just about to plant my bulbs out. I am thinking of going 100% leaf mould for a change. Would that be suitable for them to grow in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff 1 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Bonjour actually I use an horticultural compost, simply . JEFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbreeze Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 It can be variable depending on which species. I don't have Sauromatum but I have one Dracontium and 9 different Amorphophallus. Generally just leaf mould wouldn't have a good balance of nutrients. Mine are in a heavier soil with a lot of organic matter. The A. titanum have a courser medium with better drainage.

James 87 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone I'v done very well using a mix of 50% JI no 3 and 50% multi purpose compost and then I mix in some perlite and sand until it looks about right!! Question to all.... What the biggest anyones managed to grow a amorphophallus saurmatum (voodoo lily) to, Leaf size/hight and weight of bulb? Thanks James Edited May 2, 2012 by James 87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifurita Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm using peat and perlite for all my Amorphophallus, much the same as I do for CPs Question to all.... What the biggest anyones managed to grow a amorphophallus saurmatum (voodoo lily) to, Leaf size/hight and weight of bulb? No experience with saurmatum, but I remember reading somewhere that A. titanum could grow over 6m tall and over 60kg for the tuber. I think A. gigas may be slightly taller, but not heavier.
