Nice! How big is your plant? Does it lose its leaves in the fall? I bought 1 last February and it lost all its leaves. It has grown 3 new ones since June, but it's a very small plant.

My plant is mounted and has 1 main plant, and 2 basal growths. I got it last winter, and the main crown did lose all the leaves, but the two basal growths held one small leaf each. Biggest leaf on the main crown is 4 inches long. The leaves on the basal growths are 2-3 inches long. |

Gorgeous!! Love the 'fang' on the column.
Ezil: This one is considered to be deciduous, so it's not uncommon for it to lose some/most/all of its leaves in the winter.
