My good friend and neighbor 2Bee grabbed this at a local nursery the other day. I love it....but what is it? She said they were unloading a truck and they had it with all the caladiums. I thought it looked more like an ee. Right now it's in a small 4" pot, but must be at least 24" tall. And the largest leaf is about 10" long. How do I care for it? Does it like sun or shade? I love the glossy look to the leaves!
Geez....forgot to add the pic! LOL And now I can't add it to the edit!

Maybe it's a clala-ear lol
Looks like an EE to me and very nice plant at that.
Looks like Alo Plumbea,If you ever get a pup keep me in mind.
I think it needs mid day shade.I have been looking for this one,great find.
Hey Doc...thanks a million! I was just searching and wondered if that is what it could be. I'll save the first for you! Do they pup as easy as C. Black Magic or Illustris?
I was given one last year and it never did pup. Right now it looks like it will pup, but I don't have any leaves on it. Slow grower and shade lover like Doc says.
Gosh....how big will this thing get? It is still in the 4" pot and I think it has grown 8" in just 2 days! Is it a giant?
I'm guessing around the 3-4 ft. range. Mine never had a lot of leaves at one time. After it would get the third or fourth leaf, then one would die for every new one.
