Red face root missing



I ordered keiki plus from canada few months ago and used it in phals.Great it worked.I have few keikis but i'm missing roots.I applied the keiki root all over the bottom of the keikis and it's been almost a month and no sign of roots.Has anyone done this before?

I don't know how to take a picture for showing other wise i could show you how they look.

waiting for reassurance or help

I don't have time for a long answer since it's time for me to leave for class right now, so I'll just get you started with a thread that pretty much dealt with the same question: Hopefully it will help you a bit!

Hey Camille .. thanks for using my thread -
Puffy - the keiki began to develop before the 1/22/07 posting of the thread and I didn't see root nubbins until 3/10/07 .. so it took about 2 months but the keiki had been developing a few months before 1/22/07 .. under my indoor conditions - it could take up to or possibly longer than 3 months from the time the keiki begins to develop before you see root budding ..
So it's a matter of patience (if you can hold out as I did) to let nature take it course or you can do any of the number of things people suggested in that thread to stimulate root growth ..
