Are you sure this is Graptophyllum pictum? The plant on your picture looks like it has trifoliolate leaves...

Good point...I will do a little research to confirm...it was sold to me as a caricature plant and I foolishly took them at their word!

The plant on the picture looks like a Fabaceae, maybe an Erythrina. Not Graptophyllum.

Just stumbled across this thread. The photo looks like a plant I have. Butea Frondosa - common names are Flame of the Forest and Parrot tree. Has spectaclular red flowers and can get rather large if you let it.
