How old are those seedlings?
I am growing some too and after one year they have their second frond.

Dean, Thanks, but I'm just the groundskeeper, the plants grow themselves 😀
Wes, Those are about a year old, that batch started germinating last November and most were about 1" tall this past January.

What is your secret?
Mine are the same age but are way behind yours.
Do you fertilize?
How much heat/sun do you give it?

Wes, During the Summer I let my GH temps range between 90* - 100*F
Other than that, just a mix heavy with perlite, mostly filtered light, and the only fertilizer that gets regularly applied is the water out of the fish tank 😀
I have been starting to move some of these into more direct sun, so far no burning, and they seem to be speeding up a bit.
