    I'm so glad I didn't ask for one!! :eek:

    They are incredible plants - but really not suitable for my garden.... Hope you've got the space for them, Daz and Debs!

    If they get too big just hack off the offending leaf, they don't mind at all. It takes alot of effort to sustain all that green exposure on such a large leaf, so the other leaves won't mind the extra help. :D

    The one I have sent DD is the same size as I bought in a 9 cm pot about 3-4 years ago. Picture is last year [​IMG] Feed with chicken poo and lots of water and you too can grow a monster. Enjoy it while its small :D

    Try one in a pot dendy ;) you can control it even more.
