Thanks bill and armandii
My golden virginia leaves never made that width what i grew last yr do you think it was down to weather conditions bill possibly,i fed them home made comfry every week and miracle grow once a month (wasnt sure on miracle grow) maybe it wasnt enough or other reasons cheers julie x

 

its hard for me to say julie, it could be a lot of things where did you get your seed from?, Virginia leaf should be at least 1 foot long i have had them nearly 2 feet and that's not the biggest leaf size some strains Black Mammoth and the like can get bigger, i have been known to use miracle grow on them but a little trick is to use epsom salts, use in your watered feed about 2 table spoons per gallon every 2 weeks this has a real good affect on leaf growth and chlorophyll in the leaf, which helps the plant process the suns rays and produce more food for the plant.

 

So Mg is good could of been the seed(not sure of strain) or weather but sounds like feed more likely,i didnt know what i was doing i cant deny but i tried from limited googling etc
Black mammoth sounds more like a alocasia to me not tabacco bill
