Sounds about right Yuet. Tis what I do - twist head, remove 4 or 5 rings of leaves, leave to dry, pot into free draining compost, water when you remember, watch it grow. Slow to start, but once it gets going, WOW! Mine that fruited shoot out baby plants which are now at mature size and I was hoping for fruit this year, but it is a bit late, so maybe next year. My others range from 6 months to 3 years old, and again, hoping the older monsters will fruit next year.
