      So far, it isn't doing much

      Cuttings I received were nice and healthy though not nearly the color of the ones pictured on the website. It's been almost and month and, so far, they aren't doing much.

      Growing healthy roots after 3 weeks

      Lost some of the color in my tank, but I am currently adjusting the lighting for the mid intensity, so that was to be expected. Gret plant, healthy clippings, float to get new roots, then plant.
