I also have a maudiae alba from them which suffered from the same thing that your roth did, no root tips. I have had it for a year and it has not grown. But...I am sure that the flower sheaf -that has not grown at all since I spotted it whilst looking down the crown- is now finally making a move all be it a very slow one. So good culture can make a difference. Just be patient.

It sound like a pretty fast grower then, that's always nice.
I have a wardii too, but a 'Darwing' that I think might be getting close to blooming size, but I've only had it for about two weeks so it's busy adapting to its new environment.
You've actually made me look closer at the albas and I've started to appreciate them more and more so I think I'll probably get one of those in the future, but which species I don't know yet.
I'm glad to hear that your Maudiae has started to recover (which, by the way, is wonderful as an alba, at least the ones a Swedish vendor is selling). I'm leaving my roth in peace to do its thing at the moment and only checks if it wants water or not. Maybe that will work.
