How to Care for Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus Sauromatum)

Jul 31, 2026

Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus Sauromatum) is grown for its foliage and seasonal rhizome growth. This plant grows best in warm indoor temperatures with a rich mix that holds moisture and drains well, moderate to high humidity, and medium to bright indirect light.

Water every 1-2 weeks during active growth, keeping soil lightly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering when the foliage dies back and Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus Sauromatum) enters dormancy. Providing proper drainage and airflow will help reduce the risk of root problems and leaf stress. Monitor the plant for soft corms, dark roots, or early yellowing. With stable indoor conditions and regular care, Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus Sauromatum) can continue growing well over time.
