Description

Price per 1x Amorphophallus symonianus tuber 2-3cm in diameter.

Amorphophallus symonianus is one of many fairly recently described species from Thailand, found growing in pockets of accumulated leaf litter in limestone pockets.

Making 60cm tall plants with a classic dissected umbrella leaf, Amorphophallus symonianus boasts a creamy white spathe with a rather rude spadix. This is also one of the few species that makes intercalary leaf bulbils (along with Amorphophallus bulbifer, muelleri and probably a few others). These can be seen as swollen nodes at the numerous leaf axis in the Autumn. These can be planted to produce new plants and are a nice easy method of propagating this species.

Amorphophallus symonianus is easily grown in a well drained compost mix. Not hardy, but fortunately, the tubers can be stored dry and frost free.

Aloe suffulta

£10.00
Aloe suffulata is a superb and very rarely seen Aloe species from Southern Africa. Young plants offered that are rooted into 9cm pots. Low growing, it has very long recurved  leaves with spots and striations in an attractive pattern. These leaves are bright green when well watered and kept in slightly shaded conditions, but take on an incredible red colour in full sun or drought. Aloe suffulata makes a most interesting house plant, or alternatively, it can be grown outside for the summer months where it makes an excellent and unusual addition to a dry border. Very rarely seen in cultivation, and hardly ever offered for sale, either here, or anywhere else.
