Yes, it's still heavy.
I don't have a greenhouse. What can I do to simulate this?
It's in my warmest and brightest room, but not getting direct sun at the moment. Decent humidity.
Daytime is about 70F but can go up to nearly 80F. But down to 65F night.
Do I need more consistent warmth?
What do I need to do differently, because after 3 months of being potted up, it hasn't done anything.

Should I put it in a clear storage tote out of direct sun? I would also point a cfl bulb just above the soil.

So what's better about coarse sand, than my usual peat based potting mix? I have sand but it's not very coarse. I would be tempted to try pine bark fines instead, if having an open substrate is key.

Perhaps I should note that I also really cut back on watering, as I was waiting for signs of life.

Thanks for the help trying to save this plant.
