Hi! I have a BoP that is about 6 years old. I lived in Baltimore MD (zone 7a) for 3 years and the plant did well. I take it inside for the winter. No flowers but the leaves seemed to be growing normally. Earlier this year, I moved to Lincoln NE (zone 5a). The leaves were pretty shredded when I took the plant out of the UHaul but the plant didn't seem to be negatively impacted by the move. I put the plant out in early spring. Now, new leaves come out but initially the stem was only a couple of inches long before uncurling. Now the fourth leaf this year is already uncurling before completely leaving the sheath (or whatever it is called). There is no stem. I have not fertilized before and gave a slow release fertilizer about a month ago. It is watered as needed. The soil doesn't dry out and the plant is root bound but I read that it prefers this and will promote flowering. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening or what to do? Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you! Dawn
