Heard so much about MG. I got one late last summer and potted it up. Overwintered it inside. My problem is, I put it out potted in May and it has been as slow as molasses. It is healthy but oh so slow. I have been growing basjoo and ensete maurelii for years. Two 3inch Maureliis I potted up at the same time are now dwarfing the Mekong Giant. Pot is largee enough and soil was changed in spring.
