How long does a titan arum live?

The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) has a lifespan that can vary widely, typically living for 7 to 10 years before flowering. However, it can take many years, sometimes up to a decade or more, to reach flowering size, depending on environmental conditions and care. After flowering, the plant may enter a dormant phase and can continue to live for many years, producing new leaves and eventually flowering again.
