Aroids, Tacca and other Exotics
 

Anyone have an aroid that is not too stinky? What about tacca? I'm looking for exotic plants. So if you have other exotics than orchids, bromeliads, tillandsias and CPs, please tell me. Thanks.

Do you consider water plants exotics..? :P Waterlilies and lotus are the easiest things to grow.. Only thing is they eat a lot...

How about the Aroids below?

Do they produce flowers like amorphophallus titanum. I was hoping was a huge flower with no leaves.

Rafflesian will be the best choice for you, with super "fragrant" scent:2thumbup:

Re: Aroids, Tacca and other Exotics
 

Rafflesia is still impossible to cultivate, and is way too stinky. Or maybe I can accept stinky as long as it is not too super. Any aroid that looks like amorphophallus without needing a gas mask is what I'm looking for.

I think amorphophallus konjac will do!

hi lim,

Scindapsus pictus is from the same family and cultivation as the common moneyplant?

hahha, i guess it is......any to spare?*biggrin2*

Re: Aroids, Tacca and other Exotics
 

Did you mean Epipremnum aureum? If yes, they are both from the same family--Araceae. S. pictus is a shade loving climber. Just likes E. aureum. I have a few cuttings. Will pm you.
