I would be so tempted to take cuttings off the plants at the gardens to take home and propagate 😂 I wouldn't ever do it. But I can't say I wouldn't be thinking about doing it lol.
I know a guy in my area that has one of these giant ones growing in his backyard. It was just beginning to open up the leaves and I got to see it before and after they opened. He said the flower on it is pretty big too.
It is the flower that smells like rotting meat. It only flowers every few or more years, as the plant grows either a leaf (the whole thing is one leaf) OR a flower. And it can only flower once it is big enough, so especially the first time can take many years.
this must be the plant my friend's mom was gifted by her in law back at their village. but she's living with her daughter in a condo in the city and she took utmost care of the plant until it become tall. Everyday the mom made sure to carefully loosen the soil, collect dried leaves, squashed them and put into the pot and water to moisten the soil. Sadly, it never flower though. i just died.
Quick question, how do I get MAGNOLIA TREE SEEDS TO SPROUT? I CANT NOT GET ANY OF THE MAGNOLIA TREE SEEDS TO SPROUT OR GROW AT ALL, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO DO SO
I think it's because of the flower! It has a very long, misshapen spongy phallus-like middle. If you check the hashtag #penisplant you'll see my other videos about it, including the flower!
I learned the flowers are actually small and deep inside that big leaf that looks like a flower...
Yes! It's fascinating
The parts of Arum flowers I believe, are called the "Spathe" and "Spadix"
That's the two parts, yes. The total thing is called an inflorescence. Ill make a video about it soon

Very nice. I was in charge of the Amorphs at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens until I got laid off in 2020. They’ve since gotten bigger
How does the texture help it? Is it useful to deter herbivores ?
The Center Is Actually Thousands of flowers ganged together.
Yes, an inflorescence is a flower structure not a single flower 🌼
Amazing and so beautiful, do the flowers smell nice. All the very best best
Haha no actually the flowers smell like rotting meat! It's nickname is corpse flower 🤭😅
@@plantwithroos wow amazing thanks for letting me know. All the very best nd happy Christmas
Isn’t that the flower that only opens once a year and smells bad?
Corpse flower, it blooms once every 7-9yrs for 24-36hrs

Beautiful. Looks like a plant from an ancient era.

U died?
Oh that's sad!
If you died, how are you commenting beyond the grave? They got internet in the afterlife?
I need one 😅😅 this flowers are amazing
are the fruits edible? and what do they taste like?
I don't think they are edible, so no idea what they taste like! But the bulb is eaten like a yam and the leaf is also edible apparently!
@@plantwithroos amazing

I've never had magnolias or their seeds
some plants are named for what they resemble and help with, so does the penis plant do likewise?🤔
I think it's because of the flower! It has a very long, misshapen spongy phallus-like middle. If you check the hashtag #penisplant you'll see my other videos about it, including the flower!
Why do they have to mimic tree branches? What insect/animal is it avoiding?
I made a separate video explaining more, that's coming up. But big animals, Rogiers example was a rhino!
What soil do you use?
I don't grow these myself, I'm just a volunteer at these gardens. The soil looks like a mix of pumice etc, but maybe that's just the top layer
Arnt they extremely smely? Some would say they stink an hour in the wind :p
The flowers are yes!
Do you have seeds for sale? 😅
It's not my plant so no! It's owned by the botanical gardens
…eBay and sometimes Etsy has a wide selection of different types, usually bulbs, but sometimes seeds…
This here in India we eat there stamp
Where is this?
The botanical gardens in Leiden, the Netherlands
