Need help to ID a plant from description

I'm trying to find the name of a plant my mom had seen over 20 years ago. A friend of the family gave them a potted plant that was about 5 ft tall. My aunt was standing next to the plant when they noticed the plant's leaves were moving toward her, hence the reason I'm assuming it's some sort of carnivorous plant. My mom doesn't remember much about the plant's appearance (they threw it out after the incident after having it half a day) but she said it had dark green round leaves about the size of an open hand. She also said the plant was tied to a stake the same way a tomato is tied. She doesn't remember the plant giving off an odor or looking like a vine. If it's any help, this happened in the northern part of Mexico so that might be where the plant is from or the type of climate it needs. Any help would be appreciated. I've searched the net and have come up empty.
