Is it a cutting? If so, put the stem in water.

What’s worked for me is watering at least once or twice a week (when soil is dry) and making sure it gets 6-8 hours of bright indirect light each day (mine worked best near a window). it’ll be sprouting leaves \& roots in no time!

If it’s a cutting- I’d suggest what Melanie said 🏃🏽‍♂️
