Mine took at least a couple of weeks to start taking hold.
I chalk it up to recovery time from the shock of being
transported/transplanted.
New daughter plants took "root" very quickly.
If your "root" look long and stringy, then they are not
putting out the little "micro-roots" that start the process.
The roots should like a bit fuzzy.
Again, daughter plants will grab onto pieces of gravel within
a week. My adult plants are so firmly wedged into my Mopani
wood that I don't believe it would be possible to remove them
without severely damaging them.

Weeks! What's the difference?!? Tie it on with some nylon thread and
then forget about it. It will grow, grow, grow -- and you don't need
alot of light. Give it some "Flora-Boost" (Aquarium Products of Glen
Burnie, MD) and it will be a rich green color form this iron and
manganese product.
