Still spiking... Hard to say when the buds will start to develop.

Here is a picture of my gigantia starting to bud. This is the first blooming of this plant.
It has been rainy and dreary here in Vancouver. Now let's hope they don't blast.

Very cool. Do you keep it indoors all year, or does it go outside during the summer? What's the humidity range in the window where you have it? Looking forward to seeing the blooms.

Really glad that you posted the leaf span. I bought one last fall that has about a 6 inch leaf span. Now I know how long I will have to wait. Great growing!!!

By the way, if anyone is looking for seedlings PM me. The seller I got mine from has a few more for $10 or under.
