Hi Guys.
About 10 days ago I dropped a tuber of the above into my tank in the hope of things to come.
It started to sprout in only about 5 days;the shoots seemed healthy at first but have now turned almost black. What should I do ?
I have read that you should just drop them into the tank and wait for string growth to start then push them into the substrate but not too deeply.
I fertilize the water onve a week and my lighting is about 2.5 wpg and I have co2 injection (yeast method).

Should I give up ? I hope not as I know just the right spot for it and feel I need its different leaf shape for my tank.There are also no sign of any roots.

Should I buy another or just be patient ?
I'm not very patient I'm afraid. :/
