	The stem is about 14 inches tall, the lamina well over 2.5 feet wide...
	A side view at the stem, a couple months later. It is just as thick at the base as the big one I grew two years ago in North Carolina, but less than a third in height. The leaves obviously did not like the low humidity and excessive sun.
