Nice keep us updated on the progress. If you have a pup to get rid of later on please let me know. Do you plan on putting this in the ground next year and trying to overwinter ?

It sure is a gorgeous nana. Its currently doing around 2 - 3 inches a day. Its in a perfect environment for it at the min, but will soon outgrow its location, at that point I think slow down will occur - thinking more about winter light source I will need to rig something up to allow for the height as my lamp is setup for canna seedlings at the min and Ive not got the height needed.
