Free: Enormous plant (Higham Hill E17) Gifted I have been looking after this plant for a friend, who now has no space for it at home. It really needs a greenhouse, The pot it is in has a diameter of 50cm. From one edge of the pot to the furthest leaf (with it's long stem supported on the table) it is about 1.5m.
