I avoid watering until they start drooping and the topsoil is parched; mine really dislike lots of moisture. Ironic for a jungle plant.

I also noticed that the growth on mine above seemed to have stopped. It was growing great steadily for a good 2 months, then just seemed to stop. The apical growth that they have right now, are very small and have been for at least 3 weeks. And the one plants apical node seems to have like died or something...it looks like it's clogged and isn't going to grow anything there. I'll try to get a good picture of it.
So what gives with the falloff of growth? My only guess is maybe they are root bound? They are both only in a 4.5" diameter pot thats like 5 inch tall.

Ok this first picture is the apical node that I was describing above that looks like it died or got stuffed up or something.

These next two pictures shows the new "growth" that has been there for at least 3 weeks, if not a month.


What gives? rootbound? needs more nutes?
