Snow they do get quite tall. It's 32" from the bottom of the pot to the top of the infloresence. I started it on my bottom shelf with the other tall ones under lights. When it started spiking I didn't pay enough attention and it mushed it's bract into the bottom of the shelf above it. About 3 weeks later it pushed out another flower bract. This time I moved it out from under the lights to be on the safe side.
Kiki, I think sometimes we just have to take a chance on a plant everyone else tells us we can't grow. You just never know. I feel a little silly now because this one is so easy to grow.
