I'm also curious about how fast they put out new leaves

(SDC seem to grow slower than other varieties to me too, maybe eye tricks)

62 deg a few nights mostly in the mid 70's I'm in the Florida Keys coldest i can remember is 40 a few years back
they send out a new leaf every 6-9 days hoping to speed it up this year
