Outdoors in its natural habitat, it can grow up to six feet (180cm) wide and four feet (120cm) tall. It probably won't quite reach these dimensions indoors but it will certainly try its best! This plant will love to be in indirect light in above-average humidity, so somewhere like a north-facing kitchen window or a bright bathroom will work well.
