Very nice plant. I just put mine in the ground. Can you give me any info on the age of that plant, and any opinions you have on rate of growth or best cultural practices? Also, is your climate a full-on equatorial tropical type climate?

Yes, lowland humid equatorial climate, very similar to the one from which benefits this species in the wild. I obtained this plant as a 3 leaves seedling in June 2010 and I planted it in the ground in April 2012.

Has anyone done any DNA on this plant to find out what is closest in relation? It almost looks like it could be related to Sommieria and Pelagodoxa...
