That is the problem with this particular plant. I have managed to keep this plant alive, long enough finally encouraging roots to regrow, bro.

Cat Jockey, see it how you will.. Transporting that plant did not scare it out of producing roots.
grit in the bottom of the box may have damaged 1 or 2 roots during transport, but nothing that would prevent them from growing for 2 months or more
You need to bone up on what causes root growth and what inhibits it.

So, what looks like a plant suffering from simple nute problems really has an issue of feeding due to transport and environmental shock and actual damage.
On top of that, this plant needed to be put in soil for the gene bank. Another stress. It adds up to a plant that immediately began consuming itself, growing, and absolutely refusing to throw roots

Pissed ole mary off good transporting her and putting her in soil did ya?
Not likely.. Say what ya want, but having dealt with root rot from overwatering, or poor root growth from compacted soil and poor root growth due to either too high a temperature or 2 low of one, I see it differently.
This plant wont "refuse" to grow roots. It will try to grow them at all cost. Factors within the environment can prevent it from happening, but the plant is still going to try.
