If it had nice roots when you have planted it, it will grow fine without any differences at all.
It looks very nice.
The only thing to be concerned about (if at all), is it the real Blue Java from a reliable source or is it something else.
I saw on youtube that water suckers aren't as good as sword suckers. The mother plant had a particularly bad history. Several years without flowering and whenever it does flower it falls over too early. I thought maybe we were mismanaging the suckers by never pruning and letting all the water suckers grow.
