Does it have a scent? It loos awesome

@Keely @edward I can't smell anything but it does attract flies and they are known for smelling really bad. It is said that you should not plant them near the house as the smell is so bad.

Maybe a good thing that you can't I heard its awful 😬

Thank you. It looks beautiful though.

#growing into a monster plant

These have so many different and interesting stages, lovely stems and leaves

#leaves very pretty leaves and stem on this

These are coming on nicely but the leaves look like they are upside down

That'll be the witchcraft 🤣

😂😂😂

#newshoots can't wait to see what this does

#buds I would have thought it too early for this 🤔🤔

Obviously a bit of black magic going on 🤣🤣👻

Haha you beat me to it Julie. 😂😂

Cool plant name

Intrigued. Can't wait to see those in flower 😄

Had to look twice, thought they were oyster shells! (Really must put my glasses on! 🙈)
