Default Just got this little Guy
I just got this little guy from a junk shop for $3. It got a little redish on the P-stem and stand 59" tall in the pot. The new leaf is 23" long and all the older leaves are less than 24". ... Can anyone one tell what it might be?
Would the short leaves indicate it might be a dwarf 'something'?

I'll repot the plant with good soil this weekend.

over all plant


pot & p-stem


new leaf

Thanks, When i got it home today, I saw it was in better shape than I first thought. And, the new leaf looks like it unrolled in the last 24 hours. ... Any way it fit into the back seat of the car and for 3 bucks it wasn't a rip-off.

Yeah, cut the leaves off. New ones will grow back just fine.
