Thank you for the response, I have been going what I thought was light as far as watering goes. I’ve been giving it less than any of the others I have in the ground currently. I did remove two leaves as they were damaged during a rain storm we had a week or so back. It’s been doing just about one leaf every ten days but our night time temps are in the 60s this coming week so I’m hoping it explodes soon!

I see you’re also zone 8b in south GA, have you had any luck wintering tropicals over?
