An update:

To notrecruiting: It is a hydroponic grow, using Deep Water Culture. That's where the plant sits in something resembling a pot, but with lots of slits in the side so water can circulate around it. The roots tend to grow out the bottom of the pot (Google Net Pot if this doesn't make sense). The water/nutrient solution is aerated via something like an airstone that delivers lots of oxygen to the water, which the roots absorb.

Now for another update. Though I thought the main plant had died, I was wrong. Sunday, I pulled up the U-shaped thing and one end came loose. It turned out to be a leaf. Today (Tuesday) another shoot appeared. Not a little, tiny shoot as most of the others started out as, but a rather decent size one. It's almost like the plant decided to take nap, woke up, and has the energy of a superman!

I'll try to take some pics tomorrow after I finish my day job.
