It's almost a year old and I kept it in a small pot indoors in the winter, where there was almost no growth. It had morning sun in a south east facing window. And I didn't fertilize at all in winter. I started in April with very little and increased it with increasing water demand.
It really took off after repotting in May (I guess) and then after another repotting in July.
Maybe the pot was to small at first?
In winter it didn't show a lot of stress, because the leaves looked all quite good - just slow growth. (Check out my photos in my gallery)
I water it very little and maybe I started with more intensive fertilizing too late? All that may result to the actual realtively small height.
I use a teaspoon of potassium nitrate each week. I also used 2 times a week regualar fertilizer NPK 14-6-24 with extra boron, manganese, iron, copper, molybdenum and zinc. Now I apply it only once a week.
