This is so nostalgic to me! I was fortunate enough to do this at the botanical gardens in Basel where I worked a short while. There were 6 of us to help, it was quite a large specimen, still doing well, and still threatening to bust through the top of the green house.
For a couple of dollars I get big Konjac tubers when they’re in at the local Indian markets, no flowers yet but it makes a pretty plant. Those markets also have lots of things to grow- fresh dates, breadfruit, Litchee nuts, Elephant ears/Arvi, lemongrass, Moringa seed pods, ginger or turmeric rhizomes, fresh sugar cane, etc. All dirt cheap and such fun to watch grow! 🌿🌱🌾
Hi Summer, loving your Botanical adventures and visits, keep up the great work! The way to trigger Titan arums for flowering is to leave the precious tuber out to dry for a couple of months then repot. Flowered the first Titan in Sydney and second In Australia when i was at The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. Amazing plants.
I hate all the plastic marketing and definitely not in your target demographic, but you're making good content. Your interest in the detail and technical aspects shows.
I remember when i was a child we used to go out at night and play. One time me and my friends pass through abandoned feild and we smelled this horrible scent.... it was dark. we were kids and start assuming it's a ghost or something. We fled as fast as possible and go back to our own house and tell our parents about it 🤣 The next day the neighborhood were on search of the source of the smell. Because apparently a long time a ago there was a urban legend of "wild tiger" digging a new grave and dragging the corpse around, allegedly it's some kind of dark magic ritual where one will turn themselves to an animal and steal a corpse from a graveyard. Of course it's a bullcrap, because it turned out just to be three beautiful amorphophallus paeoniifolius in bloom, yes three of them 👁️👄👁️
Ummmm I just made my own mix for my sundews with Coco coir and this must be why they're not happy!! Too much salt ! OOOOOOPS! Gonna give them a good soak now! Thanks guys.
There are smaller varieties in Palawan island, Philippines. But the locals hate them coz they say it smells like a dead animal. i am editing a video for my Top 100 Flowers in Philippines. This would have a spot in the Top 5.
just wait till you see my A. gigas!!! btw, he says about storing the tubers, I Don't recommend that! A. titanum and other forest species can die if they get dried out. (I killed one of my titanums by doing that RIP lol)
Did I hear Ryan say they use fertilizer on the nepenthes? I was told never to fertilize mine…and I haven’t for as long as I have had him, which is two years now. Should I be??
You can fertilize carnivorous plants I've often see MaxSea and Osmacote as the most common fertilizers. Nepenthes are usually a little more forgiving than other carnivores when it comes to nutrients and minerals. I don't fertilize my N. Ventrata, it collects a lot of fungus gnats and yellow jackets during the summer when I have it outside and that feeds it.
Last year I got some potted plants from kind of a yard sale, and it turns out one of them was a Amorphophallus. Weird plant. These corpse fingers coming out of the dirt. Mine did not flower yet.
Thinking and knowing are two things. Just because they have similar looks doesn't mean they share similar traits. Potatoes make fruit that look like tomatoes, but are inedible.
You have not watched the video. He talked about coconut and its issues. You have to buffer it first and buffering coconut to the point where carnivorous plants would tolerate it is a very, *very* annoying and costly thing to do in large quantities as a small business or private person. Pre buffered coco comes with its price.
@@ArcsandSparks315 And coconuts don't grow everywhere on the planet, their transportation burns fossil fuels. They waste tons of water and electricity in their reprocessing and produce the same amount of sewage, ... And a plethora of other issues. There's more sides to a coin than one. But my main statement is: You didn't watch the video. He uses coco. They talked several minutes about the topic.

I got a chance to see the corpse flower at the Bronx botanical gardens a few years back. It didn’t stink as badly as most say it did. Lol
I never thought I would be interested in watching a project like this. Summer, you never cease to impress me!
What a special thing to see! I don’t know about anyone else but I have never seen a titanum let alone repot one!
Thank you Summer for giving us the most amazing field trips! Always educational, interesting, and fun. A one of a kind Summer adventure!

Try more sun, enough energy to get around to flowering. With enough they can go every second year, but need the rain also to keep up.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 thank you for the info, I made a note in my plant book . Do you fertilize with anything?

every time I hear that intro music it sends chills down my spine, these videos are so incredibly relaxing and informative! love it
Always amazing, to watch what you and everyone love doing. Keep up the wonderful videos. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
So glad you have a lot videos come out recently on this channel and Flock Finger Lake
. Enjoy every second. :)
my grandma used to have this in her backyard, and we called it titan arum.
she lived in lampung (indonesia) if you wanna know.
Well I thought I was the only person from Lampung :D
Gue yang sering bolak-balik Depok-Bogor (Kebun Raya Bogor) ajah belom pernah liat langsung tuh taneman.
*Kasian dweh gue..*
@Agung psp Di kebun Raya Bogor ada Broo,, tapi emang gue nya aja yng males masuk k situ gegara trauma d palak sama preman d dalem Kebon Raya..
Broo ini bukanya porang ya
Yg sekarang lagi happening di indo
Bahan dasar makanan kan ini
Indonesia, especially Borneo is so blessed with such wonders.
Love this! I have my own A. Titaum and some other amorphophallus at home. No where near as big at those though lol. Hopefully one day!
I love Gardening🌲
We use to have it in our garden, Still I can remember back in my childhood! @Rayne 😊
Loved this video. The bulb and repotting is a cool and unique thing to see. Thanks.
Amazing!!!! Really big pot I've ever seen before
My lunch time watch! ♡
Me too 😂
So many great videos back to back. 😁🌳✌🏻
What an amazing plant! I would love to see one in person.
Its beautiful. Absolutely fascinating🥰🥰
Next relaxation music for plants
Yes!!! it is a good medium to use. I love Lambert medium..too bad in my area, I see less and less of the product!
Summer, It would be pretty cool if you can bring Indigenous plant enthusiasts on the "Tube." Just a thought.

unexplain horrid smell is demon not ghost , if smell good its Pontianak , lol
@@sdqsdq6274 Amorphophallus smell sweet in a way. It's definitely a corpse compound, but it's not unpleasant.
Your cameraman is lethal! 😎❤
I got to see it at Kew this year before the bloom. I love how Rafflesia is Vileplume as a Pokemon
In Thailand, we call it “ต้นอีบุก / E-book “.
Love this but was expecting the plant being repotted to be the same exact one in the thumbnail.
That is very common plnts here in our place in the Philippines
Yes
I can not understand language but see video and feeling
Ummmm I just made my own mix for my sundews with Coco coir and this must be why they're not happy!! Too much salt ! OOOOOOPS! Gonna give them a good soak now! Thanks guys.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. This is so interesting. Summer can you grow one in your greenhouse at Fingerflock?
Nice
omg 😱 how long does it take to grow that huge flower (inflorescence)?

Wooow

(I killed one of my titanums by doing that RIP lol)
I love your arms, biceps, triceps, delts, the effort is seen💕💕
She's in great shape!
Creepy.
Tamsak done idol
Does the corpse flower, after it flowered, die or does it go dorment?
The flower dies off, but a new plant grows from the tuber and the cycle repeats.
In Russia we call this plant devil's finger.
In Indonesia it is sometimes called *Carcass Flower* because a stinging stench.
Devils d*ck 😂
For a moment I thought they were zz roots, they're so big!

I Love that that guy with the white shirt is braless, its very brave
Nice ! I sent a pm to homestead brooklyn.
The kid doesn't look too happy lol, seems like he hates it
From nagaland
Hi sister can i know the price of the big flowers
This plant look similar to the konjac plant .
Watch out for its smell when it grows 😵
First!
I think this tuber is edible, yam flower look very similar
Thinking and knowing are two things.
Just because they have similar looks doesn't mean they share similar traits.
Potatoes make fruit that look like tomatoes, but are inedible.
Please don’t use peat for anything horticulture. There are sustainable alternatives like coconut.

@@eSheeep that doesn’t negate the fact that use of peat destroys ecosystem and should be outlawed.

@@eSheeep I don’t use any peat or coconut just trying to raise a little awareness.
Don’t get your lederhosen in a bunch.
