    Thanks for the help, guys! I'll see if it grows any new leaves and take some pictures in March or something.

    Today's the first time it's had boiled water since we bought it, hopefully it helps it.

      I've just wrapped a plastic bag around the humidity tray/base of the plant to try and create an atmosphere which it's probably used to. If this is a terrible idea, let me know :biggrin::redface:

        As long as it has a little drink every day it should be ok until it's soil change around the end of march. You will probably have to trim the roots then too.

            It's responded really well to the 'sandwich bag' treatment!

              That's great! Well done. It will need a good feed,fortnightly, with some of it's water now that it is spring. Which feed are you using?
              Keep up the good work. :)
