I find that different plant cuttings develop roots in water at different rates. Could also depend on other conditions in the home. I’d try to be patient and give it a maybe a month? Best wishes 🌱

I had to cut the route right off, spray it with hydrogen peroxide and then I added root powder to help with the root rot and then it has been four days and no more root rot. I’m going to put her back into a little bit more water with sphag moss

Just give it time and change the water every week or so. Albos are slow growers, but a strong root system is worth the wait!
