For me personally growing this plant,this has to be the biggest leaf,it is already 3' long before its open and they just seem to swell and swell and
before you know it the thing is gigantic!

The leaf this is coming out of is a little over 4' right now.


Started to come out yesterday morning(-:

I'm gunna need one of those Y gloriosa var. whenever you feel like breaking a sucker plant off ...everything looks fantastic..must get a princep..or 2. You thai has blown right past mine..once mine went into flower mode it slowed WAY down and its just starting to recover and put out big leaves again..4 flowrs left 4 chances to pollinate it! All the ones you say S pull do you think its wet, cold, combo, lack of hardiness? It can't be any colder than say 20F in your huts with the lights on?

Thanks Mike

You are welcome to a Gloriosa cutting or two...

in regard to the spear issue,they are just young and small,
it really is amazing once they beef up how tough they are.

[DesertZone]

Thanks for sharing.
