The leaves on this plant can get very big- 10" to 12" without counting the stems. I often see it in the front of a scape as a young plant- that is where I put mine and now I have to dig it up and move it because it is so monsterous.

These are great centerpiece plants, they can get 30" tall and monsters. I had a few they got big but took about a month from bulb to get 10-12" tall.
They are like crypts they dont like to be moved or they will shed some leaves.
very nice red color becomes green under lower lighting levels.
