Hi Evelyn, I know I answered you on the other thread, but it bears repeating here. They are heavy feeders, very thirsty and grow like crazy when they are happy. If you didn't feed it generously through the summer, that's why it didn't grow or bloom.
I'd definitely keep it growing through the winter if you can. That will give it a big head start in the spring, and a much better chance of blooming several times next summer.
When you get it potted up with nice rich new potting soil, I'd go with 1/2 strength fertilizer to begin with. Be sure to check if the potting soil has some fert in it, you don't want to burn the few leaves you have. Then when it starts to show some new growth, ramp up the fertilizer gradually and really get it going!
