All about my Amorphophallus Atroviridis

- I've not been making many videos in recent months and so many things have changed in my collection. I'm going to start showing you each of my newer aroids and wheats gone well and wants gone wrong in the garden since the big freeze.
This plant is the amazing Amorphophallus atrovididis. Despite the lack of location or distribution information in the collection data from Kew Botanical Gardens, Amorphophallus atroviridis is a plant in the Araceae family that is thought to be native to central Thailand. Its name is derived from the Latin words atro-, which means "dark," and viridis, which means "green," probably referring to the plant's leaf.
A. atroviridis is a lovely decorative plant because of its strikingly darker emerald-blackish green leaves compared to other species in the genus and its dramatic pink leaf edge. As long as temperatures are kept between 5 and 35 °C (40 and 95 °F), the plant receives enough light, and the soil is well-draining, the species can be grown outdoors or indoors.

My Amorphophallus collection has been growing steadily in the last few years. This video is all about a lovely plant called the Amorphophallus atroviridis from central Thailand
Glad your back. I really enjoy your videos.
I have an Amorphophallus konjac and Amorphophallus bulbifer. Didn't know there was so many different kinds. Thought there was just the 3.
I love them. There's more being described all the time. Some are a nightmare to care for especially if they need high humidity so learning with the cheaper ones is a good idea.
My Atroviridis just arrived and I am so excited!
I can’t believe how underrated the genus is! (At least in Europe) My big Konjac is by far my favourite plant in my collection when its not dormant.
Btw what’s your experience with dormancy? I supposed they would be dormant in fall and winter but mine sprout their leaves earliest in late May, sometimes in June and go dormant mid December lol
Really love the leafs on this one😮. First time this year i grow bulbifer, great little plant. Konjac is hard to find here but i have heard it is easier to take care of than bulbifer.
Konjac is the easiest I’ve ever grown I think. It seems to even tolerate being more wet. My big Bulbifer rotted last winter which was a real shame. I need to get more when I can
@@aroid_artist i think u can keep bulbifer as wet as konjac but it needs more shade and more heat. since konjac from China it tolerate more open area and more sun while bulbifer is a forest dweller.
Great stuff . I love these videos
I used a bag of tropical plant potting soil. But I added 10% more perlite and 30-40% more peatmoss. So far they seem to be happy. Ive had them a few months. My bulbifer is still dormant but my konjac has sprouted. No flower. But I have a really cool foot tall leaf.
Very happy to see this upload, Yes am also glad to see you back. Love seeing content about the less mainstream aroids.
Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been focusing heavily on my SouthernGFX channel and that’s taken all my time. Plus we had such an awful loss after the few big freezes we had in the UK and I was really down about it all. I probably lost about half of my collection in the first big freeze. That’s never happening again!!!!
Where can I get a bulb of this?
That's not the atroviridis petiole pattern I'm used to seeing. It reminds me of gallowayii.
Mine has hardly any markings on the red petiole like A. gallowayii but the leaflets are 100% atroviridis. I suppose the inflorescence will tell us for sure. Have you grown A. gallowayii? Id be super happy if it was ;)
My amorphophallus bulb is just starting to produce roots and new growth at this time of the year. Do you think it will be able to grow enough before the winter comes? I'm also in the UK.
As long as it putting up leaves not a flower. You may need to bring it in for a while if it gets cold at the end of the year. I weigh the larger tubers and I always want to make sure the tuber at the end is at very least the same weight. Preferable heavier!
Which species is it BTW? I have loads that are just waking up now (August)
haha my atroviridis didn't survive too long as well
It’s been one of the harder ones to keep alive for me but I’m confident this time (famous last words)
