      it doesn't have much of a smell at all, that I've noticed. they're pretty amazing. I'm not sure the leaves ever stop growing...

      I agree with you mikefranklin... the leave continue to grow and grow and grow... and curl up on the ground. I see a lot of people growing them indoors in elevated pots.
