Arisaema thunbergii subsp. urashima is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Japan, particularly near the coast. It is popular in horticulture for its curious inflorescence, which consists of a spathe tube enclosing a spadix appendix that hangs down as a thread of 45 to 60 cm. The underground tuber often produces offsets, which can be removed and grown on. The foliage dies down by summer, leaving the fruiting spike to ripen in autumn. The red berries contain high amounts of oxalic acid, and all parts of the plant should be considered poisonous.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment. |
| Pulpy Coat Inhibits Germination: Seeds with a pulpy or fleshy outer coat need to have this material removed by soaking and rinsing in clean water daily for about a week. The inhibitory substances in the pulp are thus washed away, and germination rates improve. |
| sow thinly, keep dry when dormant, leave in pot for 2 years |
