Miracle Fruit new growth

It may not look like much, but after seeing my new miracle fruit plant get off to a good start with all the new growth turning into mature leaves it almost appeared like it was settling down for the winter.  There wasn't a single new leaf budding and though it looked healthy, I thought it could do better.  So I bought a small desk lamp and recruited a misting water bottle and since spraying it with a fine mist whenever I think about it and keeping the lamp on the black pot to keep the whole thing warm leaves have started to bud.  The pictures above are the progress of the newest growth from 5-12 to 5-18, and while those pictures may not appear to show much, it's easily doubled in length and now has the full features and reddish appearance of the new growth that it came with, plus there are several more buds all over.  So we're looking at success with miracle fruit plant growth, we just need to see some progress with the fruit some day.
