Titan Arum

This Titan Arum plant is in a leaf cycle. Most years, the spike grows into a huge leaf with complex leaflets.

 

The leaves gather energy from the sun and store it in the corm. It will need the energy to bloom.

 

The leaf falls over and dies after 12 to 18 months, and the plant becomes dormant again.
