Hi,

I would appreciate help from more experienced users. Does this look like a healthy plant to you? I bought it about 2 months ago. It didn't move in all that time, didn't grow a single new leaf. The moss is almost non-existent, and it is white in some parts, I don't know if that means anything. No leaves are turning black, but there is no new growth as well. Nothing in the last two months, since I bought it.

Is it possible it was dormant when I bought it? And it's still dormant?
