My friend has a plant he has been nurturing for 3 weeks but it hasn't grown at all.
He uses a mix of
50% perlite
25% vermiculite
25% peat moss
It sprouted after 2 days and basically hasn't changed since. He found it on top of the soil and had to take emergency measures to poke a hole and get the root back in the mix. He waters it twice daily with a spray bottle and distilled water. He takes it outside in the morning to get sun and brings it in at night. It's still alive, as you can see.
Does it need nutrients now? He sprinkled a tiny bit of organic fert around it about 5 days ago. After this amount of time it should go in the soil, but normally it would be a lot bigger. Shouldn't the root hairs have healed by now?
