I transplanted mine, so it's been put back a bit due to root damage moving it, but it has 3 dinner plate leafs, one side plate size leaf and one new leaf that you can watch it growing, well it did have a good drink today tho
.Cathy so please yours is doing well, mine was only months old when winter struck, as it was in full growth I did not cover it over and then we had the big freeze, by then it was to late, it's leafs went purple brown then fell off, but only after the cold had gone, and now it's growing well again, all be it a bit slow this year, it's in a raised bed of peat grit sand and 6mm shingle, where last year it was in the garden soil with lots of chic poo and water, glad your happy with yours Cathy, I wont to grow a forest of then, I really love them.

and putting up bigger leaves. I decided to plant it next to a Phoenix canariensis_CIDP as I thought the two monsters could fight amongst themselves and cancel each other out, although they are both small plants at the moment unlike Ades fab pics. I lost the leaves in winter but they started growing new ones in April with the first warm spells.
