I've been growing the voodoo lily for almost 20 years. It doesn't bloom until the bulb is a few years old. It seems the bublets can take my cold weather but as the bulb gets larger it must be brought in for the winter. Each year the foliage gets a little larger and the bulb does also. The flower shows up about Feb. with no soil or water around the bulb. Needless to say I have to have it inside because that is winter here. But the flower smells so AWFUL. It reminds me of raw chicken left in a plastic bag in the hot sun for a week. Sorry, but I love the plant and hate the smell.
