Good movement all the way up
Keep the foliage tight and you have a winner :-)

I think you have done a great job. Next re-pot (probably about 6 six for you) think about a smaller pot, maybe round.

They are actually altenating at 60 degrees from one another. I.e. 30 degrees either to the left or right of the center axis. The only problem is now I have an even number of pads. Maybe even number is ok in literati :?:
