It was 40-45 cm tall (without a pot).
The petioles were brown.
Also new leaves came out red-brownish.

The bottom side was green.

Most of the leaves were however
smaller and heart-shaped.
This is a photo of 'Queen of Hearts' cultivar
from Bloemenbureau Holland.
It was scanned from a very small photo
and it's possible that's a variety of this species.

In my home, in 2004 the plant was 60 cm tall,
the petioles became Deep Purple:-), and new leaves more red.

2007


In 2007 the plant was 115 cm of height with the leaf blades 30-35 cm long.
And it started to produce first offsets.
In October of 2007 it bloomed for the first time. Each of the plant had 4 inflorescences.

The inflorescences never open fully.
