Last year my A. x portora reached around 7' tall grown in ground. Potting it up added 12-18". The tallest leaf was in the rafters Green Grin! so I let it go dormant. I tried waking it up in late winter and half the tuber rotted. I had potted up 3 offsets and they did fine. If I can figure out how to wake these guys up early I should get some decent size every year.
