I strongly suggest you verify that your town is not experiencing re-occurring "plant food" charges on your tax statement.

I can confirm that the diplo upkeep bug has been fixed or at least it is not affecting me. I sent over 8K T2 diplos and 1K T1 Troops and only one new tentacle popped up. I don't know how much anyone else sent. Also my upkeep is what it should be now.

So perhaps Diplos dont grow the heart at all...  It would be nice for a Dev to drop a hint or two so we know if we are just wasting our time....  (:P)

Well, I'm going to exodus a bunch of cities on my alt, so I'll send a bunch of troops over there anyway.

maybe it needs commanders....?

or to activate maybe actual attack (attempts) are required...

could be a number of influences still, or yeah maybe just not enough yet... Confused

or maybe the ammounts required to grow ( grow as change from state n to n+1, showing a new tile of corruption) are kind of huge, which could be as its a world wide "event" ... so maybe expecting by sending 1k or 5k diplos you are gonna make it grow, its a bit pretentious.

Regarding whats "valid as food" ( military and diplo, or just military) is not very easy to tell : just because after a military attack it shows a new tile of corruption just prooves military counts, but doesnt mean diplo doesnt ( any single attack could be just lucky enough to make the gap from one stage to the next). Of course if few military attacks would make it change 2 states, that could proof something...
 
If any1 could positively tell if they have seen it grow after one of their visits with diplos... (military forces on their way can be spotted worldwide, so its easier to tell if it was you, or some1 else diplos (which would make no diference on this question) ..or a military attack.
 
So in conclusion , one of the following could be true, but unconclusive at this point :
 
a) grows with both diplos and troops . with each "kill" counting as 1 (towards a great number req.)
b) only grows with troops (same as before but ignoring diplos)
c) only grows with commanders( with would be a bit weird, but who knows..)
d) grows with number of attacks ( same as a, b and c choices but only counting attacks, not ammount of troops in each attack, highly unlikely)
e) grows with both diplos and troops, but each type may count diferently (for example based on upkeep/ exp)... so 1k T2 would add more than 1k T1...   and 1k tier 1 cav more than 1k tier 1 spear 
 
if any1 could think of any other posible factor..

This could be a triggering factor as well...  perhaps the combination of a commander with troops.

Two small armies of about 1k T2 Cav just hit and it grew about 2 squares.  T2 cav was what I sent the first time I got it beating - and I sent a few more armies, so we will just have to wait and see...  

such a costly plant...  (>.<)

I vaguely recall that Rill posted something about sending goods.  I won't feed this thing with skilled commanders.

Dunoob, agreed on not feeding it skilled commanders.  I sent only level 1 commanders last time...

As for feeding it, I am not sure if this helps or not.  I only know that I didn't get it going last time by sending it resources.
