OK..first time on here, and new to this, but was bitten by the aroid bug on a very large scale, and am expecting a delivery of this Stinky Giant. Can anyone with experience in Aroids, instruct me how this 3" newbie should be planted..Soils, watering, feeding...Is a terrarium recommended while young..Etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated..Again new gardener and I hope you botanical experts do not take points away for spelling and/or gramatical errors :>)

Thank you in advance,

Jed

Jed, are you aware that there is an Aroid Forum here? You will probably get your questions answered if you post your question there.

JedH -

I noted in the local news recently, that the Quail Botanical Gardens in nearby Encinitas, California, had one that was in bloom, approximately a month ago.

While I've never seen one up close, the picture did, indeed, look interesting. I don't know if they will give out any information regarding it's care and feeding, but perhaps you could drop them a note, if you can't find any information on this web site.

Sorry, I don't have the address, but it is located on Encinitas Blvd., in Encinitas, California.

Bejay
