Ah, okay, thanks. How about soil? I'm really not expecting it to flower, but it would be a bonus. I think it will be too big by this fall to bring in for the winter, so I think that will be it for this plant. I hope I can get some pups, though. How can I make it grow as fast as possible, so I can get a nice plant to give a bit of a tropical look to my yard? I said I have leaf mold - could I use strictly this, with maybe some other compost added? Would that be too much nutrients? My Dad tried this with tomatoes, and they grew to be monsters!!
