Kylie, I think your friend in that photo is making really good use of perspective in photography! Lime Zinger just doesn't get that big...but the dark green Xanthosoma saggitifolia (which may actually be X. robusta here in FL) does...I'll post a pic of my 5'2" daughter standing by one of mine.

Pithy, I love hoyas and have just started collecting them in a serious way. I love philodendrons too. That pink princess is one of 5 that I have, they all came from the same plant which was a bedraggled half dead mess that a friend gave me a few years ago with the statement, "If anyone can resurrect this, I know you can". I cut off all the dead parts and separated the plant into 4 main ones about 6 inches long and a few tiny offshoots and they all took. I gave one to another friend, and now I have 5 large healthy vines between 2-4 ft each in different places in the greenhouse. I sold the smaller ones once they got to a good size. Thank you for the compliments about my greenhouse, I really do try to baby everything in there. The plants may actually get more attention than my family sometimes!
