Were the roots black,brown or white.

White /tan is good.

Your mix might be free draining but is it holding too much moisture.?
I didn't take a photo, but i remember the roots being white. The plant is growing, just slowly. the little thing in the middle looks like the end bit of a leaf. When growing my poly gets a good 35 degrees but generally its stays between 15-35. so it should be actively growing. it's in the exact same mix as the other one and it's okay. I've watered them both the same and I haven't watered them for weeks. the mix is 4 parts perlite to 2 parts Melcourt fine bark chip to one part compost.

it may be too much moisture ill have another check of the root in a few days.

thank you!
