I'll be honest these can be really tricky. They NEED a ton of humidity or else they simply do not thrive.

I do suggest a terrarium or a makeshift terrarium. Anything will work as long as you trap humidity around its leaves. So be creative, you can stick a mason jar right over the pot, cover it with a cake dome, a transparent cup or whatever you have on hand even a ziplock bags works.

If you do that within a week she will start putting new growth out quite rapidly.


I keep mine in glass cookie jars with the lids cracked just a tiny bit. I did take the lids off for photos. After creating a VERY humid environment they started growing like crazy and now I have to cut them back every couple of weeks because their growth is sooo rapid.

Wow. Thank you. I'm gonna try that right now. ๐Ÿ˜
I agree with @SuperbRaspfern. Put it in a clear jar. If you can't do that, mist it every couple days.
