CHECK Dormancy Table to SEE WHAT'S GROWING & WHAT'S DORMANT

We remove some of the soil when we ship. There are usually no issues with a plants
out of soil or kept dry for a week or more. When you receive your plants, put them
into a pot with moist soil. Give the roots opportunity to reachdown for water.
Please check to see if your plants should be watered at the time of year you purchase.
Some don't get a lot of water in winter and some not a lot of water in summer.
How often you water depends on how quickly your soil dries out. Most important,
don't overwater. Water well and allow your plants to dry out.

The photos on our website represent what plants look like when growing.
We are not selling the plant in the photo.
Whether your plant has flowers depends on whether it is flowering at that time.
A pot may be one large plant or more than one plant. Plants grow at a different pace and different sizes
so if you order 2 plants coming out of the same size pot, they may not be the same size.

Amorphophallus konjac is a bulb that produces an enormous single flower up to 2 feet in size.. Its close relative, A. titanum produces that largest unbranched flower in the world and is exhibited in botanic gardens when it blooms.

The plant then "collapses" in early Fall and stays dormant until next Spring. During this time it does NOT need water. Start watering in late April and by May or June, you should see the leaves start to emerge again. Please Click photo for complete infromation.

Boophone disticha

Boophone disticha is a poisonous bulbous tropical and subtropical flowering plant, endemic to Africa. Boophane are winter growers. The type specimen was collected in 1781 from South Africa by Swedish botanist Carl Peter Thunberg and described by Linnaeus as Amaryllis disticha. Since that time it has been placed in the genera Brunsvigia and, finally coming to rest as Boophone. The genus as understood at the moment, includes two or possibly three species. B. disticha is one of the most widely distributed bulbous species in South Africa, readily identified by its fan-like appearance and its bulb half-protruding from the ground. When the fruiting head separates at its junction with the stalk, it is easily moved by light breezes, scattering seeds as it rolls. from Wikipedia.

Xerosicyos danguyi

Xerosicyos is a flowering plant genus of the family Cucurbitaceae. Its name comes from Greek xeros meaning dry and sicyos meaning cucumber. There are three species, all endemic to Madagascar. Xerosicyos danguyi is a large liana with thick stems and round, gray succulent leaves. It is common in cultivation and often called the "Silver Dollar" vine. Xerosicyos perrieri is also a liana with thinner stems and smaller, ovate green succulent leaves. Xerosicyos pubescens is entirely different from the previous species. It forms a large caudex from which deciduous vines emerge. The leaves are lobed and semi-succulent and die back in the dry season and during prolonged periods of drought.
