I hadn't checked my posting in some time.........please forgive me. I had some health issues off and on since this and several other posts. I too have tried rooting fresh rau ram from our local Asian markets. I had repeatedly been able to get them to root in water, but I had several successive failures when trying to establish them in any kind of soil. I finally got a large water rooted sample to take when I used some 1" mold compost I use in my vegetable garden. I really think that the greatest issue at that time was the seasonal cold weather at the time I was attempting this, as this is a tropical herb. With all the hot humid weather we have been having this year in Southeast Texas this sample is and has been thriving. I have it in a large pot, but still have to water it daily. I think that I might try re-potting it a larger container with some sphagnum moss for better water retention. I must tell you that I use Micro-Life organic fertilizer that works well. Thanks for all of you that made posts here and forgive me for my apparent lake of interest or appreciation.

Kindest regards...............

P.S. I also got a bunch of lemon grass going as well........... Take a look at both of them.....
