Oh the leaves can get even larger than that! My new leaf is 20 inches long! The biggest one yet. I have had it for maybe a year and a half. Had to move mine outdoors about 6 months ago since it’s too big now. I live in Florida though, so it’s hot and humid, and if it got too cold during our winter, I just brought her in for the few days.

Yeah this one is a baby. I got her with 3 leaves in December. I live in the UK so she's just enjoying some outdoor time during the heat wave then back in she goes. I can't wait until she get big but also need to plan out where she will live .

Don't worry, there is always more space to be found. 🤩

My mum saw me reporting my zz and hinted at how I could make lots of individual plants. I told her she didn't have space and she replied with "we can make space" 😂
