What kind of light do you have them under?
When I had mine under fluorescents they did really well. I now have them under 14,000K MH and they definitely don't grow as fast as they were. Algae like it around 5,500K for best growth. I have some red algae and it just kind of holds its own and will not root. It is not dieing though just kind of holding its own.

I suspect that to actually take a holdfast to substrate, most macros need to settle onto the substrate as a spore. Thus, usually the "rip-n-wedge" technique is probably all we really have to work with. Just a guess on my part. I've never had a macro "take hold" per se, although if it didn't die then it new pieces would start up nearby kind of thing.
