I didn't take any pics but I saw that manila is enjoying being on the window sill at work. Its showing buds popping out in four (from what I could see) different spots. It took forever for Manila to do this when planted in my garden; probably because of the cold weather, and yet even with damaged roots its taking off. So heat is a big influence along with Roots Organics Soil-less medium and Gro Pot.
Pics taken November 6th.
