Most likely your calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium are way off and your po4 is high. Under most different lightings, in proper water quality, a frag of that size can be come a 6"+ colony in 2 years.

You will have better growth if you glued it on side instead straight up. By the picture theirs no crusting at base. The better crusting on bottom better growth.
