Little plant, big leaf

I started a Pied de Boeuf from a UC Davis cutting a couple of months ago.  The plant is now about 18" tall and is already putting out some big foliage:

Impressive!  It may want more light.

  Actually, it's in my greenhouse and gets a lot of light for most of the day.  I have about 50 other figs I started from cuttings this year and they mainly have small-to-normal size leaves in the same location.  For some reason, this one is on steroids! 

That is very impressive!  Bob, that LSU Gold you sent me has amazing growth and some pretty big (not as big as this one) leaves too!  Seems happy here!  They all do!  Nothing yet on the Desert King Cuttings.

Suzi - bummer on the desert king cuttings.  My desert king cuttings (not from Bob, but from another member) grew like crazy!  So hopefully, they'll kick in for you soon.  The ones I bought off of eBay titled Red Sicilian are very slow growing for me.  I had them planted in bags for a month, then moved them to Anderson band pots, and I just now have leaves after about 2.5 months.
