No vertical growth on the pseudostem after producing

I was given a confirmed Brazilian pup but that one does not
have wine stain/splotches on the leaves like this one shows.

What do you suppose this is?

Roots going through the water drain holes of the 5G pots.
I elevated the pot 2 feet off the ground by stacking pots below it.
My guess the tree liked the root zone heat provided.
So rather than vertical growth, the tree concentrated on bottom
growth explaining the picture above.
