Higher light! Though they are naturally slow growing

Make sure you’re fertilizing and repotting when necessary. I have had mine for years and it’s grown a lot but definitely slowly with little bursts of new growth

My tip is to not over water. I feel like the more you water it, the more water the rhizomes store and can make them grow a bit slower, just something I have noticed! With mine, I do two ice cubes a week, and she thrives.

Best thing to do is neglect it lol

Ain’t that the truth😂 ignore it and forget it exists and it will flourish lol
