New seeds arrive 9/7/13

I've heard that Amorphallus can be hard to sprout.
Good luck!

Here are 2 pics of the seed (the closeup is amazing, and from a webcam!)

The seed is in the round pot, the other pot has seeds from a rare succulent species similar to lithops

now to wait until it germinates, I'm thinking about starting a thread on my Aloe Polyphylla seeds that have sent out a tiny white root

The seeds are for Conophytum Obcordellum

Back to the titan arum seed: when I got the seed a little wet it gave off the rotting flesh smell it's inflorescence produces. The smell is not noticeable now that the seed is in the pot, well unless you actually put your nose up to the soil and smell

So far the only problems I've had are maintaining temps at 26C, it's either cooking or freezing (not literally of course). Hopefully after it germinates it will handle these temperature swings.

Hey in either case, you are a pioneer for (alliteration!) planting a plant no plantsman has planted before!

That is awesome, but try saying it 5 times quickly

Damn this computer!! no, but I actually hadn't noticed that thanks! Fixing now.

The seed should sprout soon but there is no definitive germination time for this plant.

I'm assuming no signs of mold, right?

I dug up the seed yesterday to check no signs of mold but the seed has had some changes!

The seed as of today!

Lots of change

The large bump on the right was already there it the two small circles on the left that are new!

Things seem to be on course for germination
