I agree with Bonnie, I think they need a rest. Quit feeding and trim off
the taller stalks to just a main leaf or two. This will cause new stalks to
start.

This year I left mine in the garage, low light, little water. They have
just enough green starts on them to let me know they are alive, and that's
all I need to know. It's been great not caring for them. ~ jan

My water canna is in a North facing window and I haven't
fertilized it at all. I did dose it with Muriate of Potash
once, then I decided to let it rest over the Winter.
