Classic case of 'what I bought vs. what I got' 🙃

Normally, however, it’s about an item of clothing that was too small, or a piece of furniture that’s actually meant for a doll house. Not some triffid-like plant that looks ready to destroy humanity.

Riley Leight shared their experience on Twitter recently of buying a fern on a community selling page and finding out they’d basically purchased a forest. They described how the fern was described as ‘large’ in the initial ad, but how they’d not bargained for the magnitude of the plant they eventually picked up.It’s watching, waiting

They explained: ‘I paid $40 for this from a nice older couple who also gave me a jar of honey they collected from their own backyard and i’m just sitting here in shock staring at my gigantic daughter.’They went on to show more pictures of the plant in situ, and it truly takes over every area of the home it’s placed in. She is quite the attention grabber.

It’s around the size of Riley’s fireplace, and as you can see barely fits into the boot of their car. This is despite the fact it grows in a totally normally pot, and hasn’t been given some sort of superhuman growth hormone.
