you are not making a hydro setup, you are just drowning the poor thing. put it into a 8 oz dark colored cup of potting soil NOT MIRACLE GRO of any sort about first finger depth, 2" or so, sprout DOWN not up as you may think. this sprout is called a shooter root and travels down in search of water DO NOT USE A CLEAR CUP roots hate light. water it put a light as close as you can (place your hand between plant and light. if it's ok for you then it's ok for plant) get a fan to blow across leaves. this strengthens stem by replicating mother natures breezes. water it every 3-4 days, and leave it alone otherwise (do not overwater, a common mistake!) post pics, we'll do all we can to help you. welcome to the fold...
