It's doesn't take long for the plant to mature. Once the plant start shooting out new growths, start feeding more heavily and give more bright light. And never never never divide the plants. lol I grow mine with shale, gravel, some barks and moss so i don't have to repotted often. The plant sent out a spike with one bud, this summer but the bud blasted. =( But the two new growths are maturing fast and i hope to see the plant spike again hopefully next year.
