I keep it really moist at all times and grow it on a windowsill that gets indirect light. I have been slowly acclimating it to sun outdoors. Constant moisture and bright light is all you need. And patients. It takes a long time to grow.

Yeah that's about it. Keep it wet. Don't let it dry out. And give it lots of light. I have some that grows really fast. And some that grows really slow. I guess it's just the luck of the draw as to what kind you have.
