The water suckers are so weak looking. All of the pups my original namwa made looked like that. I recently harvested a bunch from one of those, good strong plant. Kind of confused.... Some namwa make thin leaves on the swords and some not.....
So what do you make of the one I planted in the pot? That thing is growing like Lou already so, not that it really matters but do you think that's a water?

I know I sound like a broken record but to think all of that was a tiny tissue culture less than 4 months ago is mind boggling. I'm estimating the pstem at over 7' with 3 gigantic pups and more popping up. I'm amazed it just doesn't seem possible.
