Everything sounds ok so far... No growth at all or just kinda slow? As a reference, they usually make a new leaf every week or so. Some are faster than others.
One other thing to consider,while Basjoo is cold hardy,(Down to about ten degrees I think) the dwarf Cavendish, and maybe the others are not very cold hardy.(Say 27-28 is as low as they go) How cold does your winter get?
