    Nice! The only thing holding me back from getting one of these is the size of the leaves

    Size of the leaves? No big deal.

    Need to be kept really warm, ID think that would hold you back, Chris. That's my problem, but as I'm about to move south, I might be able to handle it more easily.

    The leaves are not large, are fairly small.

    I think you've been typing Kelpmax too often Ray. I'm in the process of building a cold room now so we can have the house a bit warmer. Where are you headed?

    I don't know what that has to do with KelpMax....

    Phal. bellina is known to be particularly warm-growing.

    I'm moving to Oak Island, NC, which is about 60 miles north of Myrtle Beach SC.

    I think Chris meant what you wrote "Need to be kelp really warm" did you not mean kept?

    Nice. I have this one as well. I will do my best to keep it warm. My leaves are a bit curly like the ones in the picture. I was worried about it but I guess this is normal ?
