mine is very much a regulated growth...it has a sequence of leaf production lasting about a year and 1/2, flowering sequentially,with no more than 2 flowers on the stalk at any time.This year it has produced 5 flowers since initiation of the inflorescence in March, and today May30, it is in bud,and forming another.The stalk just grows higher,and forms a new bud from the last bract. Currently 19 inches of stalk, growing in a south facing exposure, in a tray,so 12 hours of sun.

mine is still flowering,showing a new bud after shedding the last petals and staminode . The stem is quite stiff,almost looking like a wire,while the plant is just 6 inches high,and a foot across even though the stem is so tall.
