Everything has a reason, whether big or small. Never underestimate the power of what is or is not.
There is far more to everything than meets the eye.

Some of the P. 'Aphrodite' are showing a nice blush too, but the pot is crowded and I will need to thin the herd soon.

Also, my P. gigantea and moranensis x ehlersiae are putting up buds again, so flower pics for them will be up soon too.

Ugh I must buy more plants. ... too many I want. ... very nice.
hcarlton, you can probably push the P. gigantea bigger with a larger pot. It seems to produce larger leaves in larger pots. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to like too much overhang. Oh, and feed it, a lot. It likes to eat, and will grow much larger. Last I checked a week-or-so ago, mine is pushing 10" across.
I am quite aware it can get bigger in larger pots, however space is limited in my greenhouse. Also, it does shrink rather dramatically at this time of year....
