I've had a bit of growth on mine for about two weeks now with about 5 new leaves braking through, mine does pick up a fair bit of Sun during the early part of the day (when it's been out that is 8) ) so maybe it's down to Temp, even with no Sun the average Temp has been around Double Figs here in Po...
