Tetrapanax papyrifer or the rice paper plant produces giant leaves each year.

Triplantanol powder increases plant cell growth.
One of the most obvious and quickly seen effect is seen in the development of plant leaves.
Triplantanol can have different effects according to the state of growth and metablolism of the plant.
To achieve optimal leaf growth Triplantanol powder should be used in conjunction with a good balanced plant feeding program.
When Triplantnol boosts plant growth this is partly due to expansion of plant cells. In rounded, palmate or orbicular leaves this effect can exhibit itself in changing the leaf appearance to give rounder and fuller leaves. It does not happen in all plant types but can be seen most commonly in hybrid Geranium plants especially the Ivy leafed forms. See the following picture of an Ivy leafed (left) and a Zonal Pelargonium (right) where the same cultivar (arrowed in the picture) has been fed with Triplananol and exhibits larger and more rounded leaves. Infact the Ivy leafed variety has changed leaf shape from palmate to orbicular.

It may be speculated that increased photosynthetic area available from greater leaf area contributes to increased plant metabolism and growth.
