Dude what wikipedia are you reading lol I swear I did not edit this Wiki page.. this for the plants I have (trust me I do not make purchases without researching): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnera_tinctoria Here's a bonus page: How to Grow Gunnera Tinctoria \| Home Guides \| SF Gate These are 2 different sites saying up to 8ft leaves. If you want to go even bigger, buy the Gunnera Manicata (good luck finding one online.. I couldn't). And here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kZjhEndiA

Edwmax, unfortunately you can only propogate them via seed or by rhizome ("crown") separation. Plus, the old stems are long gone. If you can prove me wrong, and that you can grow them from stem cutting, I will happily send you some. Here's where I got mine from: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4803836...f=sr_gallery_3

*Also, just a quick update* The plants now look exactly as they did when I received them, so things are looking good. I have been keeping the soil relatively wet and have a lamp pointing right at them and they seem to love it.
