Great filming. I found this SO interesting. I loved watching all the 🌴growth and movements and then watching the decay, and then rising again. I enjoyedmovement of the chilli 🌶 and window sill plants too. Congratulations
Thank you for sharing! I am a new parent to the Voodoo Lily and I’m so excited every morning to see how big she’s getting! I wish I could share my photos with you!
Totally awesome video. Its amazing how these things grow so fast and only from a bulb. Mine is exactly like yours and I have had it two years with two blooms. I was given probably 20 babies this year and they are growing well.
mine is just starting to wilt now it had been in leaf since april out side and has pushed the soil out the top of the pot by neary 2 inches and i can actually see a baby one poking through the soil at one side so i wonder how big the tuber will be this year!
I have one Amorphophallus Konjac ( Leopard Palm, Devil's Tongue, Voodoo lily) in bloom now. Taking pictures daily, your Time lapse video is a great idea, rotating base is smart, show the flower life span well, Thanks for the magic technique!
Cool video, just bought one. Try going to your local gardening center looking around a bit, and asking the lady behind the counter: do you have any amorphophallus konjac here? Made all the more crazy by the fact that i'm 13.
It’s possibly the same plant it is grown as a crop across Asia along with a few other similar types. The corm or tuber or yam depending who is talking about it is used to make flour for noodles and various other food and health products!
I have one that got a chill and died before the flower bloomed, its completely laying there should I cut the stalk off and would it now need water for the tree leafy part to grow?
Ha! Even these guys are in a hurry to breed. Interesting how much longer it took for production of the leaf. Also, the window must've stayed closed in blooming - I didn't see any flies until the inflorescence started decaying.
+ancilodon nope the window was most definatly open during the bloom I really didn't think it would be that bad and it was in my bedroom! Could smell it all down the road lol think lack of flys was due to a few frosty mornings.
It's actually a single giant leaf pretty mad and kind of creepy how they just rise out of the ground! I have quite a few growing now and some I still haven't planted yet
Excellent video! Would you happen to know how much time passed between 00:52 on your video to full bloom? I have two right now that are at your 52 second mark (as of this morning) and I am trying to predict when to expect a flower. Thanks! - Aaron
LithodidMan well can't tell exactly but it is around 6 days I was actually away while it happened came home to an all mighty stench! the flower in full bloom only lasts 2 or 3 days before it starts to wilt again. my 2 big bulbs are still sleeping I guess it's colder here.
Thanks! I missed your reply. Mine bloomed on April 1! The stink was amazing. The local newspaper sent over a reporter and they did a very nice story about it.
haha I didn't get a reporter just people checking the drains 😂 mine started to grow a few days after you asked quite quikly in a warm spell but now appears to have gone back to sleep.
quick questions: 1) can they be pruned? i got one of this and it quickly wilts when transplanted, so i thought cutting some of its leaves to prevent further transpiration and water loss, only to see the cut part got 'rotten' quite quickly. is it fine? 2) the same plant also came without a bulb (i yanked it tho, not given; the owner said to just pick it myself) but at least still has decent roots and i assume it'll grow more and even bulbs over time. is it true?
I wouldn't really prune it but I've had them blow over in the wind a few times and broken branches off them and they usually go brown and dry up at the cut eventually. Maybe it needs more water they don't really like being transplanted in my experience but can be quite hardy. The one without the bulb if it was a small one and quite a fresh growth then it possibly didn't have one they consume the contents of the bulb to grow the leaf then gradually create a new bulb this happens every cycle of leaf growth. It's also important that when the leaf is wilting at the end of the season to not cut it off just let it fall and shrivel up the bulb draws extra energy out of the stem during this time then when it's kinda mushy you will find it just sort of pulls off easily.
@@ras666 thanks for the reply! anyway, the plant in question is now doing ok... so far (they're not wilting anymore. i kinda regret i pruned its leaflets). but i have hopes that it'll grow until it flowers, since this is the closest thing to amorphophallus titanum (which, in place i live in, require ridiculously complicated legal licenses to grow)
Partly to stop it doing that but mainly to show it all the way round. Unfortunately I didn't realise till too late that it stopped turning in the mid day sun because I was using a cheep slave flash trigger.
There's bulbs on ebay for them! They grow fairly easily tbh well draining compost, plenty of water and regular fertiliser. Keep the bulb dry overwinter indoors and you should have a flower in 3 to 5 years!
This is literally the best timelapse of a konjac I have seen period! Great work!
Wonderful complete time lapse from flower to the leaf that emerges later. This is great.
All other timelapses only showed the bloom of the flower. Thank you for showing its life after bloom. I was so curious. Thank you!
What an amazing video and plant. I love that they flower first and then regain energy before going dormant and starting a new cycle.
loved your video not only ecause of your amorphallus but the response of the other plants, really nice to watch and see the cycles
Great filming. I found this SO interesting. I loved watching all the 🌴growth and movements and then watching the decay, and then rising again. I enjoyedmovement of the chilli 🌶 and window sill plants too. Congratulations
to be honest i didnt expect them to grow so fast, loved this video!
The video is speeded up a little 😜

Wow great video. I've just bought a konjac bulb and now I know what to expect as it grows. Great video . Great work.
Lol i like how the plant just spins
That is one happy konjac plant!
Fascinating growth, both flower and vegetative.
I have one Amorphophallus Konjac ( Leopard Palm, Devil's Tongue, Voodoo lily) in bloom now. Taking pictures daily, your Time lapse video is a great idea, rotating base is smart, show the flower life span well, Thanks for the magic technique!
I have two pots, now i know what to expect. Thanks for this vedio
amazing contribution to botany AND youtube
Te felicito por el excelente video.
Que hermosa es la naturaleza.

How did it smell like ? How bad was the smell ?
Fantastic work.
Супер! Спасибо за вашу работу.
It's like watching a Kubrick film
How exactly do you water and fertilize before flowering, flowering, withering of the flower and before the sapling? Thank you.
This was MAGICAL !!!
nice the flower Power 🌱💪
Muy bonita y como s mueven todas las plantas
Very Helpful. Thank you.
in Indonesia there is also a kind of that is also imported into Japan,china

Wow what s in grow ball and Bio char will hold water , peat moss , vermiculite etc
grow ball?
What's the second plant? 🤔
I have one that got a chill and died before the flower bloomed, its completely laying there should I cut the stalk off and would it now need water for the tree leafy part to grow?

Very Very cool video
And for 2-3 days that flower STINKS! I have one that just opened. But I'm used to the stink, been growing them for years now!
Did you pollinates it for having 2 plants now? Is that the next year or the same year for the second flowering or the real plant??
Lovely specimen! Did you buy it online?
that was awesome! i didnt know it turns into a tree after bloom
It's actually a single giant leaf pretty mad and kind of creepy how they just rise out of the ground! I have quite a few growing now and some I still haven't planted yet
so it blooms, collapses, and then leaves come up, completely in 3 months?? thats a fast plant
Very cool
How many days is this whole video?
is this kind of gordon's gold?

It's very peculiar how it managed to rotate several times while blooming.
It's on a rotating stand with an arduino and stepper motor advancing it round a fraction of a degree for each photo.
@@ras666 lol I totally missed that.
was ist die zweite für eine Pflanze?
What are those other plants? They seemed more saddened with sunlight and happier in darkness.
Motley Stew the big one behind it was an avacado it seems to wilt alot in the dry I'd day sun must need more humidity. the others are chillie plants.
Ah. Amorphophalus. I see. Got it
Wow amazing. Do you rotate the pot to keep it from bending to the sun too much? The flower was lovely.
Partly to stop it doing that but mainly to show it all the way round. Unfortunately I didn't realise till too late that it stopped turning in the mid day sun because I was using a cheep slave flash trigger.
Is that a titanum at the back?
The smaller one is yes it unfortunately went rotten and died later on in the year when it got cold and the heating boiler failed 😞
@@ras666 big sad
would love find out how you grew it and where you got the bulb. Thanks
There's bulbs on ebay for them! They grow fairly easily tbh well draining compost, plenty of water and regular fertiliser. Keep the bulb dry overwinter indoors and you should have a flower in 3 to 5 years!
Thanks!@@ras666
Hi there does it bloom twice as seen in this video
No its just once the second growth from it is the leaf
Amazing!!!! Thanks so much, yet scary tho haha
Can I have some Chacruna?
Класс!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Mine has finifshed blooming...What di I need to do withit now?
Just leave it to wilt away don't chop it off it draws energy back into the tuber it should grow a leaf in the next month or so
@@ras666 Thank you...I have fish emulsion, can I fertilize it?
How did it smell?
Just lovely like an abattoir on a hot summers day 🤮
@@ras666 I read about it but great to get confirmation first hand! Thanks for the beautiful Timelapse!
The root edible?
Bby, no. Not at all.
Looks like you got some fungus gnats there
Did I really just spent 7 minutes of my lifetime to watch a plant grow
Die anderen Pflanzen im Hintergrund :o
Es sind Chilipflanzen, aber ich wusste nicht, welche Art, weil das Etikett auf den Samen falsch war.
Entschuldigung, ich habe Google Translate verwendet 🤦♂️
Look at all those gnats. I hate those annoying things.
