I grew it in a greenhouse..never did bloom. And it was a big 15 gallon plant with Ficus like roots.

Yes, it grows very fast and big with lots of aerial and surface roots. I had seen some growing in the Bay Area; however, I always killed my plants outside there.

This posted plant is very large now. It was cut back because the branches were in the walk way.
