Voodoo Lilly

The voodoo lily (Amorphophallus spp.) is a rare and fascinating addition to any garden or indoor setup. Known for its striking appearance and unique flowering habit, this plant will be the highlight of your collection. Its large, exotic flower emerges from a single stem, showcasing deep, dramatic colours with an unmistakable appearance that’s impossible to ignore.

The voodoo lily thrives indoors or part shade outside  preferring well-draining, slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. It’s drought-tolerant once established, making it an easy-care choice for gardeners. In the right conditions, the voodoo lily can reach up to 1 metre in height, adding a tropical touch to any space. Ideal for pots or garden beds, this versatile plant is perfect for those looking to add a bold statement to their landscape.

Dies down in winter usually and grows back bigger and strong each spring, along with pups.

The voodoo lily (Amorphophallus spp.) has some edible parts, but they require careful preparation to remove toxins. Here's what can be used:

1. Corm (tuber):

The corm is edible when cooked thoroughly. It's a common ingredient in some Asian cuisines and is used to make konjac (glucomannan), a starch used in low-calorie noodles and jellies. The corm must be boiled multiple times to remove calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if consumed raw.

2. Young Leaves (certain species):

In some cultures, young leaves are cooked and eaten as a vegetable. They require proper boiling to neutralise any toxins.

3. Flower Stalk (in some species):

Rarely, parts of the flower stalk may be consumed after thorough cooking, but this is uncommon and species-dependent.

Important Note:

We can not verify which specific one this is. Always confirm the species of your voodoo lily and research specific preparation methods, as not all parts are edible in every species, and improper preparation can cause irritation or toxicity.
