Sauromatum Venosum 'Lys Vaudou'

Sauromatum Venosum - a botanical species from the Araceae family, found in humid jungles. The plant is valued both for its flower, which, although it has an unpleasant smell meant to attract certain pollinators, has a unique appearance, and for its spectacular foliage very similar to Amorphophallus Atroviridis (a related species).

It is considered an extremely hardy variety, almost impossible to kill, and also very easy to propagate.
Sauromatum Venosum is a tuberous plant, and throughout the year the foliage appears and disappears, being replaced by flowers. It prefers strong filtered light, temperatures between 5-35 degrees, and a substrate with good drainage and medium moisture retention.
At maturity, it reaches a height of about 60 cm.
