It progresses slowly and is starting to darken up nicely too (which makes photographing it harder!).

It likes bright but not direct light Sticki - in the wild it grows on the forest floor. Likes warmth whilst in growth, but is reputed to take short snaps down to minus 3c.
I can't help but love it SL!
