I am seeing a strong new growth that is closest to the camera - there may be another one, that shows better in the original photo from the pot. So I'd flip the plant 180 degrees in the plane of the...

They do need to be watered well during the growth phase. Pot them up and then don't mess with them, just keep watered, they are light feeders. And tough as nails.
