I can tell you from experience that those are very stubborn at times. Mines didn't open for two weeks when it was a frag now it's grown bigger and wider.

how's the light and flow? the first batch that I put in the aquarium opened only for 4 days then it didnt open up..then the second batch same thing happened..really frustrating..

I have found that providing a good amount of flow will encourage GSP to open up. Be aware that it doesn't take much to cause it to retract something simple as a crab walking near it will cause it to close up. Quick tip.. put GSP in an area that you can control its growth, it will spread and take over quickly. I personally only grow it on the bottom glass and cut it when it gets to close to the rocks.
