My aunt gave me this plant about 7 years ago. It has really grown over the years. the stalk actually twists in loops. I water once a week and give it lots of sunlight. I didn’t know what it was until recently. I love this plant with its large beautiful leaves and interesting stalk. I am still trying to figure out how to keep it standing upwards. Would love to see others if you have pictures.
