Dear Christopher; I have grown it in a lot of situations, but it has always done best along the edges of large pots of tender Crinums such as Crinum procerum with burgundy or variegated foliage. Sort of a ground cover. These winter indoors with little water, frost free and in low light, but summer in full sun with deluges of water frequently. In these conditions they have multiplied and bloom off and on all summer. They take our extreme heat, but not drought - in pots. I believe Plant Delights sells it and refers to it as a "Miniature Amorphophallus". It can be found there as T. divericatum I think. In the garden they do well in sun or shade, but when hit by our frequent dry spells they may go dormant. If it rains before it is too cold, they return and if it is too cold, they perish in winter. In the ground they are undemanding So they certainly take extremes. Even in my cool green house they go dormant in winter. I don't know where Woodland Ca is exactly, but if you have enough offsets, I'd try a few outdoors. In general, the genus Typhonium has around 40 species and is wide spread from S.E. Asia through Malasia and into the NE Coast of Australia. Recently the common Sauromatum, Voodoo Lily, etc has been transferred to the genus Typhonium a few years ago. An excellent technical reference is 'The Genera of Araceae' by Mayo et al. The range of species is pretty interesting and I know of a couple Typhonium collectors in the US. Good luck and enjoy.
