![]() Surprised it looks good for a tiny root system. Curious to see how it grows for you.

![]() I was expecting it to have roots and if it did I would have planted it in CCS.
This is the first tissue culture plantlet I've received that a third party did the transition from agar to a non-agar substrate. Normally a plantlet in agar is shipped in a little bag or test tube with an abundance of roots and the grower simply needs to rinse off the agar and acclimate a decent amount off the roots to have success. Trusting the transition to a third party with their definition of "fully rooted" doesn't appear to have been a good decision on my part. The photo below is of a tissue culture plantlet from USDA TARS that came in a little bag of agar. It was planted in CCS and quickly acclimated to full sun before the pseudostem reached the height of 3 quarters. The advantages of acclimating to full sun quickly is to avoid growing a long thin pseudostem that will fold in the slightest breeze and obviously it will grow faster with more sunlight.

![]() I'm guessing it has survived in a high humidity environment.

![]() Sounds about right and never saw one growing in moss either. Pretty sure I have never bought any type of plant growing in it. But it does hold moisture so that would explain it’s growing conditions as you suggested.

![]() How exciting! Was this also from Lydia? I purchased one and it came with few roots in spaghnum moss, I quickly moved it to Fluval.
