How much does a corpse flower cost? After the Huntington's corpse flower bloomed, they sold bulbs for $250 a pop. HMNS tells Culturemap the museum got its flower for the bargain basement price of $75.
Keeping this in consideration, can you grow a corpse flower?
What you will receive is a seedling, generally a 1 or 2 year old plant that is about 2 feet tall. Bear in mind that it will be 7 to 10 years before the corm is large enough to bear a flower. Corpse flowers are tropical plants so they will need to be kept in a warm, humid environment.
Similarly, you may ask, does a corpse flower die after it blooms?
Once a corpse flower finishes blooming, it doesn't die. The spathe withers and collapses after a few days, and if pollinated, the plant soon produces hundreds of small, golden-colored fruits. Once the plant's corm is fully replenished, it finally blooms again.
