- Pulling up a Sauromatum venosum
Sauromatum venosum is a stunning Aroid with a distinctive inflorescence
Sauromatum venosum is a species of plant in the arum family Araceae. It is native to Asia and Africa, where it grows in forests and riparian meadows. This species grows from a tuber, producing an inflorescence with a yellowish spathe covered in large purple spots and a purple spadix. The green leaf appears after the inflorescence develops.
It has 9 to 11 leaflets each up to 40 centimetres long borne on a tall petiole. The mature flowers emit an odour described as "putrid" and compared to rotting meat. The odour is attractive to insects such as flies, which pollinate the plant. Like some other aroids it is a thermogenic plant, generating its own heat.
It is grown as an ornamental plant. Its common names include voodoo lily and monarch of the East

Had no idea the tubers grew to this size - incredible. I purchased my first S. venosum this year and it came with 9 tubers, so I'll try the Gold Leaf, which I have for my indoor Aroids. Thanks for the informative video.
The gold leaf is a total experiment but it seems to have helped. I believe keeping the phosphorous high is the real key so make sure and add some blood or bone meal.
Lovely stuff. That S.v is a monster
Cheers JO. I am going to feed this bad boy like a lost nephew next year. I’m going to blow it up like a baloon lol
Just got a few of these, and I think they show signs of the flower is on the way. My question is, should they get potte up now pre flowering or shallow i wait to the flowering is done? Also does the leaf Come Right after the flower? Id love to hear a year cycle for this plant. Ty in advance, Hope to see more videos soon.
