About Konjac

Tender bulb that sends up a single mottled stalk in spring, opening to multiple leaflets, like a miniature tree. After several years, the bulb reaches blooming size. Then, a 36–48" reddish purple spathe with a protruding dark brown spadix rises before the stalk and leaf appear. Not a houseplant, it should be planted in the garden or a large pot, then dug to keep the bulb dry and inside for the winter. Grown as a vegetable in Asia.
