I think they look at least 30

leaf size was just a little larger than a mature monstera, nearly 3ft in length i'm guessing

aren't they???? sometimes living in florida isn't so bad, i get to see monsters of plants like this everywhere. huge mature pothos and colocasias all over my town.

That 10000% sounds like a bonus for sure!! I can’t do anything like that long term outside with having to accommodate somehow. 🫥

Not my cup of tea but happy for you nonetheless! I can appreciate how colossal it is though!
