Having this plant for the past 3 to 4 years, this is the first time I have seen this plant look very happy, actively growing newer and plumper leaves, and extending its height as it goes. I guess our drier winter this year is more to its liking. Now it makes more sense to me, that I see new growth activity before, around Fall, when our temps has cooled down. With our current winter temps swinging from 39F to 75F, and dry with the occasional dense fog, it has found its most favorable growing moment.
