Voodoo Lilies Care

Water the planted tuber carefully at the beginning of growth. Later, watering is carried out only when the topsoil dries up. After waiting until the water from the pot fills the pan, let it stand for half an hour, and drain after. Water the root, which is wintering in a pot once a month.

The flower can be removed after it fades but be careful not to cut the emerging leaf.

From spring to the end of summer, feed the plant every two weeks using complex mineral fertilizers with a high phosphorus content, alternating them, if possible, with organic ones: use old manure and humus.

The plant is definitely a light-lover but does not tolerate direct sunlight well. At home, it is better to grow it on the southern and southwestern windows, shading it with a tulle curtain.

You may prepare the soil independently by taking sheet and clay-turf soil, sand, humus, and peat in equal parts. The acidity of the soil should be slightly acidic (5-6) or neutral (6-7).

The fastest way of propagation for voodoo Lilies is from the large tubers, even though it is still possible by other methods.

At home, the plant needs a warm temperature of 72-77 °F (22-25 °C) from spring to autumn. In winter, the resting tuber is kept cool at a temperature not lower than 50 °F (10 °C).

The edible and medicinal properties of A. konjac have been known for a long time. The plants can grow in a container, but you must ensure they are large enough.

It is an important ingredient in Japanese cuisine, and in the U.S., it is used to make jelly candies.
