I often see this in young plants that acquire lots of new root space, such as when TC plants are transferred from vessels to pots and again from pots to the ground, after about 1-3 leaves, there is a huge jump in leaf size.

Sometimes I see pups do this too after they have well established root systems and are pushed hard with fert, water and sun.

A TC plant I just transferred from the vessel to a small container had 2in leaves, the first leaf made after being potted was then about 4in, and the next after that is about 7in. There is definitely an easily recognizable correlation between root capacity and leaf size.
