Thank you for an informative video! Did you know that A. konjac tubers are both a nutriceutical for weight loss and a traditional Asian food! They are usually made into bland tasting noodles for stir fry. I’ve eaten them and they are good. The tubers must be thoroughly cooked to neutralize the oxalate crystals. Other edibles aroids like Taro must be processed as well.
Mine is coming back for the third year! I keep it under my bathroom sink until daylight savings time in March. It just popped up today and decided to re Google it. This is the best video explaining this plant that I have found in 3 years!
Just transplanted mine... itll be more visible now.. previously, it was planted behind my shed, so it was easily forgotten about....but the origianl plant was planted about 3 or 4 years ago.. the blooms are always pretty!
También noté un puñado de semillas de color naranja, como un pequeño elote de maiz, tengo konyac en mi propiedad que creció como plaga es muy linda y a la vez extraña ❤
Thanks for showing me a beautiful kind of plant.It reminds me that rare plant called amorphophalus konjac because i have it also in my house and in my uploaded video,that’s why i’m so much appreciate it,and i like it so much.God bless you more
Awesome! I've read that they need to be at least 9 inches diameter but I don't think it's a hard rule. Harvested this one and it was 6-7", I think it might put up a bloom. Best of luck with it, they are such a thrill because the tuber grows massively each season with proper care.
"Actually smelling bad" It doesn't really smell "bad". It's definitely one of the rotting corpse compounds, but there is a sweetness to it. At first you might think there is a dead rat around, but then realise it's not an unpleasant smell, and remember that you have it under your kitchen window ;)
my stem bent on a 2 year plant i’m not sure on the exact type but i think it’s the titanum. it’s currently over 3 ft tall. if you have any information on how to help it please let me know. ive worked really hard to keep her healthy and don’t want to see her die
I’ve just got a baby bulbifer and konjac and just wondering what dormancy should look like? The leaves have rapidly yellowed all over, what should I do?
Sorry it took me a bit to get back to ya. If you haven't found the answer yet, that sounds just like what they do when going dormant. It happens all at once, and it's good to immediately start withholding water and letting it go bone dry.
Did the mom not like it because of it's name, or because of the stink? Does it really stink that much? I got one yesterday from an organic farm where psychiatric patients grow plants (such a nice idea of therapy and returning back to society). Anyway, I grow mine inside since I live in a cold climate, but have grow lights, warmth and a humidifier. I have lots of plants. I hope I can bear the stink or I'll just move it to another room for 2 days. :P
Mine is gonna pop open! It’s huge!! It’s February . Will it bloom again? This season?? Where do you sell one?? If you would like to contact me please do. Paula Poisso Springfield Missouri ❤ it happens fast as you know I hope you see this soon
Yes, I live in a 9b zone and mine has done well. I bring the dormant corms (bulbs) indoors to store during winter so they don't get stressed from the cold.
I've been growing them for over 30 years in Minnesota. To grow, plant in sheltered, partly shaded area. After frost hits a couple nights, the leaf and stem will start wilting. Cut it off a couple inches above ground, and dig carefully. There may be more baby corms. trim the stem after it dies completely. Keep in dark cool area but not cold, inside a black garbage bag is good, or a small tote. In the spring, it will start a little pink bud and then can be replanted outside, either in a pot or the ground. I've actually gotten mine acclimated slowly to Minnesota zone 3/4, alongside my house along the furnace room wall, so I'm able to leave them in ground and get blooms and new plants all the time. But, don't try this with your main bulb, or all of your small ones. get a good supply going first. This took many tries and decades.

I wasn’t sure what I was growing thank you for the information
I have just planted two bulbs today. Can't wait to see them grow. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Poland
@@phanivarma4382 anything you'd like to know, just ask. It is the easiest plant you can grow 🌿😊
@@yourteacher458 basically im from south india..can i grow this plant?in a large scale?like actual farming?
@@phanivarma4382 I think so. It goes dormant from October to March approx, then you put the bulbs in soil and water...
Yesterday I casually walked into a field of these in a forest of tropical Sri Lanka. Took myself one big bulb and two tiny ones. Excited!

this video is great! thanks so much for making it!!
i just got my konjac, so i'm really happy to know what to do with it now :)
Thanks! Best of luck with it, it’s a very exciting plant to grow.
I have 2 , fascinating as you say ! Thanks I needed this ! ❤
They can grow outdoors here in SC.
Easy sub, fun channel 😊

Mantap ,Salam Petani Konjak Muna,Sultra🙏🙏🙏
JUST purchased a 6" corm & *Hope* it produces a bloom spike :)

You've called it both a tuber and a bulb but is neither, its a corm

I loved this video. Where can one acquire a tuber in Canada?

Excellent! Where you can get amorphophallus konjac?
I live in central florida (zone 9b). Will it grow here?
Yes, I live in a 9b zone and mine has done well. I bring the dormant corms (bulbs) indoors to store during winter so they don't get stressed from the cold.
I have one that is that size, but mine smells more like a week and not a couple of days.
My foliage is dying I think due to winter....will it grow back?
Use a large pot for konjac, tubers can bust a pot thats too small
What hardiness/growing zone are you in? I'm in zone 4 and trying to figure out the best way to grow these with my short growing season.
I've been growing them for over 30 years in Minnesota. To grow, plant in sheltered, partly shaded area. After frost hits a couple nights, the leaf and stem will start wilting. Cut it off a couple inches above ground, and dig carefully. There may be more baby corms. trim the stem after it dies completely.

Please share your tubers with me
Are these toxic to dogs?
They're edible, well at least the root is. Idk about the leaves
I think its need bigger pot
Can you share your tubers with me
