I love this plant! I received it as a bulb and the tiny stem had fallen off it during shipping. I still planted it (half buried in sand) and it began growing after about a week. Two weeks later it had already grown some leaves, but I was concerned that it wasn't getting enough light so I attempted to move it (stupid I know). I didn't realize that the bulb had already established an extensive root system, and I accidentally detached the plant from the bulb in my attempt to relocate it. The plant still had roots so I left it planted where it was, and then moved the bulb to the preferred location and waited. The plant left behind lost its leaves and eventually died over the next month, but the bulb re-sprouted and grew quickly. I attached a photo I took this morning that is approximately 2 months regrowth. 😊 They're very resilient little plants, I would definitely buy them again.

Arrived in perfect looks

Dropped it in, light algae cover, oto cleaned it up. There were small sprouts after a couple of days and waited. And waited. Then after 6 wks? overnight, sprouted nice deep red leaves, dropped roots. Re-planted and looks good now. I would buy again, patience is virtue in this hobby.

Came in good condition. I believe this takes some patience for it to sprout, and possibly conditions that need to be considered. If it doesn't sprout, I don't fault the seller. It looked as it should when I received it

Took a few weeks but eventually sprouted. My tank is 18" deep. Current satellite pro LED. With CO2. Temperature is 78°
