Typhonium is a large genus of tuberous aroids from asia.

15th June 2006

This is one of the most appealing little aroids I have seen. I had little idea what to expect when I got the tuber, so this was a wonderful surprise. When I first saw the leaf I was worried that it was going to grow into a giant Sauromatum sort of beastie, but it stopped at 6", and then flowered. I have it in the conservatory, so I am not sure how hardy it will be.

It grew so easily, that I hoped it would winter without problems if kept dry, but unfortunately it was never seen again.

11th August 2008

I was surprised to be able to replace the plant this summer, and I hope that I can keep it alive this time.
