Back in 2009 I fell in love with these, and bought 2 roots I think.
Check what they looked like.
I had no idea dried roots = dead plant
It looked like ONE still had some life in them.
I remember I planted them, kinda shallow, I could still see the "little things" but the never showed any green.
I think I also made the mistake of frequent watering!!!

Since then, I never bought roots but tried seeds... had very few seeds sprouting but I transplanted when really small and they died
