Sure thing, here's the largest one back in September. It grew two new leaves before going in for winter; the fungus tried to get it again (killed my big one last year). I have had a heck of a time fighting fungus in the roots of these plants; or at least all the ones I got from Puerto Rico. The plants from Florida (I purchased 10 babies in the spring) all are fine. They grow SO fast too. They went from 4" pots to 12" pots between April and October.

The pot below is 24" - height of plant is about 9'
