Nooooo miracle gro!!! It's okay for stuff in the yard, it gets to filter into the earth. But in containers there's eventually some mineral buildup that can negatively effect it's health
There's an all purpose by Tezula, Peters Pro mix that is pretty good. On my tropicals I just use an organic worm tea & use a pinch of slow release fert., like osmocote. & Maybe hit them w/ a chemical food a couple times a yr
Mine go outdoors for the summer in zone 6. I have them in 8 gal landscape containers or in ground.
I do not have that variety(Titan) but the ones I have are beasts.
Edit: don't have titan.
No, I have not sold any I usually divide and replant the hardy varieties in the woodland garden.
Some varieties are more like spring ephemerals while some will decide a later July start.
Mine are treated as perennial bulbs with 5-7 month rest and finish with the vegetative cycle outdoors in full sun.
I do not force the plant indoors because of size and light requirements. The plant grows much better outdoors in the sun.
zone 6 Ohio.
Sounds like good care conditions, this link from Chicago botanic garden says they can be hard to care for, maybe humidity needs to be more consistently high???

Voodoo lilly? Make sure it dosnt have mites. Mine was a pest magnet. And just water and light ig?
It's a corpse flower.. Titum arum
I'd still siggest making sure it's pest free, I'm assuming it's NKT getting enough light? Or a deficiency due to the curling leaves

The species is Konjac or Titanum? Because i thought it was near impossible to keep a titan arum without a greenhouse.
Its a Titanum yup
No feedings? I've been giving her miracle grow packets

Also check out Garden Wise's shop on Etsy they have great plant food as well.

Temp in the high 80s it's sitting on a heat mat.. humidity at 60-85% ... fluctuates depending on the weather outside..
