Default Huge!! It's a Baby Giant!

It is a bit big Sug.

That top leaf is 4" tall and the other two horizontal leaves have a 5" span between them.

I waited for ages before I cut it away from the Mummy plant. That was only because I was too scared to.

It looked so healthy though that today was the day.

OOohhh It's so nice to see you both too.

Thank you for your lovely comments Mister Matty and Miss Rosie. Really nice of you.

Hey I might take a pikkie of those Roots that tried to escape and update that thingy today now.

Nice to be able to give you both a Hug each too.

Good going Lorna. Yes where ya bin girl, missed you. I guess well all have busy times mine are just coming up then I will be gone awhile.

I have a root that tried to escape as well. I should post a picture but I think it is getting cut off not as good looking as it was at first when I took the picture.

wrap the base of the keikis with moss and maintain an evenly moist until you see roots coming out then just twist it off and pot it.

OOOHHHH NOOOOO

I just found me Big Leaf lying there.

I must have knocked it off, as I live alone and there's no moggies padding about, but I don't remember.

Bloomin BIG shame. Sob Sob.

No. It's a leaf.

You can't grow roots and stuff from a leaf. Even I know that much Mummy!

It's in the bin now anyway. I didn't hurt the rest of the plant, so no harm done. I didn't want it top heavy anyway. That one leaf was quite a monster in comparison to the rest, so now it's all good and in proportion.
