I work with software defects and usually have a carnivorous plant on my desk to handle the “bugs”. It usually makes for a good conversation piece. The plant sits under a small desk plant light so I use Pings. In the past I’ve brought an Sethos wannabe or agnata x moranesis to the office. Given that the office can get rather cool in the winter (Chicago IL USA area) the Pings mentioned can go dormant, semi-dormant in the case of the Sethos wannabe. Well I’m starting a new project in a different office and would rather bring one that won’t go into noticeable dormancy. My son thinks I should bring a young Gigantea into the office. I’ve been propagating these for my club’s sale next year. Gigantea’s don’t go dormant but, as forum members know, can get larger than that little lamp can handle. So I’m thinking about how much a young one will grow before spring hits…sigh.

Under good light they can get grow fast. It depends on the size of the baby.

I am bringing a Gigantea to work. Since there's a 20 minute walk in my work commute, found my heat packs and will use those. On the growth rate, lately even my tiniest ones have been zooming along. The one at the office though will have less light, but if it gets too big I can switch it out in the spring.

Well, one that is small and doesn't go dormant: P. emarginata. Some clones have really bold lines on the endless flowers.
