Default Oversized house plants, why??

Hi!

I am curious about the strange behaviour of most of my house plants.
All the new branches and leaves become oversized. Actually, I like it
but I would like to know what is the reason for this behaviour. Most
of the plants have been placed near a window. I give them water only
once per week, normally the earth is completely dry before the next
portion of water. I have never given nutriment to the plants.

You can find some photos of my oversized plants he

I would be very grateful if you can share your ideas in this issue.

You're only bragging.

Guess what? Mine is bigger than yours!!!

Do you have an obsession with Cycads and Cycad look-alikes (Zamioculcas)?

They appear to be responding to lower light conditions and more water.

Chances are they're just trying to get their fair share of sunlight.

Best guess is last year's growth occurred outside in high light conditions.
The more shaded conditions of inside near a window could cause the foliage
to be bigger. Example would be Philodendron selloum grown in shade vs. sun.
