Dear, Normally it is growing as lithophyte in shaded forest.
But, try to make fine soil mixed with enough organic . collect sporophylls and put on this and give green house effect . other ways , if you have the chance to collect live plants, put on the surfce of humus organified soil and keep the plant as errect with clips in full shaded condition. Dont think , died plant will start to grow . This plant has the capacity to regain the green color even after death when comes to contact with water.
