More likely there are diffrent plants being sold as '"Great expectations" I
bought a flat from a company in Florida I believe many years ago-they were
all slow growing and did not amount to too much.
I have also bought plants from other suppliers and they have done very well.
As you say-it seems to be consistent per supplier and or with in a lot
produced. So I would imagine there are a few diffrent forms of "Great
Expectations" around. Some forms grow good-others do not.
