Re: big leaves, long stems...


... But the major difference I noticed between the shaded
part of the plant and non shaded part is the leaves that were shaded were
much bigger. I had a leaf that was 32" across. and several that were 30" across
on both plants. The part that didn't get shaded was only 20"-25" across.
Exactly matches my theory, leaves that get full sun all day don't "need" to be
as big as leaves that are shaded, at least as far as the plant is concerned.

Thanks, Cliff
