I grow this indoors at my office in Minneapolis. I purchased it online at blackjungle.com .I've had it for almost 2 years and it's on it's 5th leaf, never having more than 3 at a time. It seems healthy. I water it once or twice a week. I wonder if it just a slow grower indoors, or if it will suddenly grow more after a bit more time.
edit~I read that if your plant is from a tissue culture that it will not get as big of leaves or growth habbit as other propigation methods. I have yet to get a leaf bigger than 6" in diameter.

a corner of my shadehouse was exposed to temps below 45* and I thought this plant was lost. There are brand new leaves coming up now. (April)

This plant is a creeper that will fill a bed extremely quickly. Not really suitable at all as a houseplant for any length of time, it wants to get huge. Excellent plant for those that have space
