Where it grows wild

There are no wild GBIF records, so this is based on the genus in Thailand: seasonally dry evergreen or mixed forest, forest edges and scrub, often on limestone or well-drained soils, in partial shade.

Unknown. Most Thai Amorphophallus grow in the lowlands and hills below about 800 m.
