Help: Monte Carlo doing awful

[NewToFish2020]

Hello! I have a problem with some Monte Carlo I recently got. My dad bought some Monte Carlo from a local fish dealer for pretty cheap. The Monte Carlo looked kinda pale when he first brought it but insisted we plant it in his beta aquarium. It’s been about 4 days and the Monte Carlo honestly looks like it’s not going to grow at all and I wanna do something so my Dad doesn’t feel sad. Keep in mind we do not use CO2. Any suggestions? I personally think it’s time to scrap. (Photos taken during a water change)

Monte carlo perfers CO2. Its a high tech plant.
