What size is that aquarium? Ten days is really not long enough to decide that you have some specific problem. Another week or so, without any growth, and I would agree that something is missing from your setup.

Give it time! When you move a plant into a new tank it often seems to go through a short dormancy period. Give it a couple of weeks and you might start to see a bit of growth.
