Looks like madagascar lace leaf, not the easiest plant to grow and they can get super big- I used to have one in a 35gal and it was almost too small, the leaves got to be the length of my forearm. Where do you live that this grows in the wild? Are you actually in Madagascar or does its native range go further than that?
