You might leave the cover off the tank, use overhead light, and watch them flower. I "think" I read in another thread here that someone kept trimming them before they reached the surface and that kept them small. Don't do it till you find that other thread though. I'd hate to have you snip them off and wind up killing the plant. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--

I would also guess that it has only recently started sending up monster lilies? Mine sent out small, then large, and now is flowering.
