I know all winter in the GH mine kept putting on a few leaves, but then a few leaves would die, I don't think I ever had over 3 or 4 small leaves at a time. So when the time came to set it out I wasn't sure on what it would do. Then I started putting water in a bucket and letting it set in the sun so the Chlorine could be removed and watering it with that, and now it is doing much better, of course I have fed it a couple of times. I think while it was in the GH it didn't like the chlorine in the water it was receiving when I did give it a drink of water. I'm not sure if that even had anything to do with it, but I know last summer I did the same thing and it looked really good except I think it only had about 3 or 4 leaves at a time. But they were nice size leaves. This year I am hoping for a better show.
