some signs of growth. i had to put her back under the coke bottle to keep humidity up. i had taken her out but poor little sally hated it. she would get all wilted and i had to constantly keep misting her. then her leaves were curling and it was not pretty.
she is out of intensive care and is recovering just fine in her new home.

Once they get established they can grow VERY fast, but conditions need to be optimal for them.
If their leaves start curling/browning(more than a little) it's usually due to their conditions, and tends to effect their growth rate.
This is all IME though, and sally and I tended to have frequent disagreements at what was right for optimal growth

disagreements indeed. she hated me the first week but i think she is warming up to me now.

I've had mine now for about a week or so.... And I haven't had any problems so far... I've been misting her with Worm tea a lot and she seems to love that... I mist ALL my plants with worm tea though... Best natural insecticide/foliar spray EVER.... I swear by that shit now.... But... Then again, I haven't taken the milk jug off of my Sally yet... So she's still in her super-humid environment for now... I guess we shall see

same with mine. i'm afraid of even thinking of taking it off. it will have to be taken off sometime. we'll see what happens.

They grow so quickly that over the course of the next season or two you'll probably not have a container big enough to keep them humid. Eventually she'll have to toughen up. If you do your best to ease the plant into its new environment and occasionally mist, it won't wilt and will eventually toughen up.
