'Black Dragon' izumae x truncata

Some pics of my izumae x truncata
It's starting to settle in well and is growing fast.
The leaves are a lot smaller than when I received the plant.
It's growing in vermiculite, pearlite, shultz orchid mix, and a small amount of lfs to hold moisture.
I have been fertilizing for 3 months with neptunes harvest fish and seaweed combined with maxsea 16-16-16, at half streangth all together or 1/4 strength each. Seems to be working well so far.

I also have black dragon growing outside at home in Australia.The traps i have growing at the moment are at least 10 inches plus and leaves at least a foot and a half long.I grow grow mine in coir peat and it hasn't looked back.
 
LLeopardGGecko, the window is SE facing.
All the plants in the window get a few hours of direct sun every day.
 
Thanks for the window info. I may seem a bit of a bother these days asking about windowsill growing! I know in several threads I've been asking window-related questions, the reason being that I'm moving to San Diego this December and I'll be growing many of my Neps outside on a patio and several other CPs (including Neps) in a windowsill that's facing northwest (if I'm remembering correctly). From what I observed it seemed to get a few hours of direct sunlight in the late afternoon, so hopefully I'll be able to grow my plants without any problems.
