Alocasia Cupria's Mythic Red Secret

Our first star today is Alocasia Cupria. When I first brought this plant home, it had one somewhat damaged leaf, but it came with a promising pup. Fast forward, and here's the new star - the Mythic Red Secret leaf. This leaf is a showstopper, starting from scratch and growing to an astonishing size. I've never seen an Alocasia leaf this colossal before. What sets it apart is not just its size but the intricate color on the back, resembling a beautifully detailed rib cage. It's absolutely breathtaking.

Philodendron Gigantium: A Rapid Growth Marvel

Next up, we have my beloved Philodendron Gigantium. This plant was a mere sapling when it entered my plant family, but it's grown rapidly. Its latest leaf, still pristine and fresh, is a sight to behold. To give you an idea of its enormity, I'm placing my hand beside it in the photo. This plant has flourished to such an extent that I've had to find a new home for it in my ever-so-slightly cramped space.

But here's the exciting part: not only is the new leaf a showstopper, but there's another leaf sprouting, promising more verdant grandeur in the near future.

Philodendron McDowell: A Classic Elegance

Moving to my sunroom, I'd like to introduce you to my Philodendron McDowell. It's been in my care for just a few months, and it's already making impressive strides in growth. The newest leaf is generously sized and yet to harden off. Its lush greenery and interfloral nectaries make it an enchanting addition to my botanical family.

Alocasia Regal Shields: The Green Giant

In the same sunroom, I can't help but show off my Alocasia Regal Shields. This is a plant that I have a soft spot for, and I've even got a few of them. What's fascinating about this plant is that I need to turn it around every two weeks to ensure it gets equal sunlight from all sides. It's a testament to its vitality that it continues to grow those enormous, striking leaves.

Hoya Obovada: A Tale of Tenacity

I couldn't resist including my Hoya Obovada. This plant, originally just a single piece, has transformed into a lovely mass of foliage, thanks to some strategic pruning and propagation. The new leaf is magnificent, and I'm hoping it will continue to grow larger. It's also worth noting that the texture of this new leaf feels like rubber, a delightful surprise that only adds to its charm.

Enthralled by Enormous Leaves

I hope you've enjoyed this stroll through my collection of larger-than-life leaves. These leafy wonders never cease to amaze me with their sheer size, lushness, and character. It's the unique details, the sheen, the unexpected growth, and the resilience of these plants that make them such a joy to care for. If you share my passion for these green giants, then you already understand the pure delight they bring.
