Any idea how to get this Maidenhair Fern to grow ?  
It literally looks like it’s made no progress in over a month. The app tells me to keep moist all the time and water every few days basically. I feel like I’m doing all the right things but no progress. 🤷🏼‍♀️ thank you in advanced !

Thank you, I think I’m just gonna skip the dirt, throw what’s left of it in water and see if it grows more as a propagation for funsies haha

It looks perfect though!

Make sure it’s draining really well… but it in bright light and leave it alone. Check every couple weeks to see how it’s adjusting.
