Other Comments:
It did flower a few months ago which I thought was a good sign & might be a turning point.
Also initially 6 months ago lots of ants invaded but none for months since I re-potted. Its about 45cm tall. I tried a photo but your website cant upload it, happy to send to a link? Thank you.
Answer:
Sorry Rachel, but I need a photo to be able to help you. Don
