Here are the rooted pieces of stem that I stuck in the soil a while back. These pieces were about 3 or 4 inches long and had little tiny shoots on them when I planted them. The only problems I had were the ones that were smaller.(stems about the size of my fingers didn't do good) I had several that rotted and some that had bad places on them. I removed the rotted places, dusted with fungicide and replanted in clean pots and soil. I'm hoping they will make it. The smaller stems didn't have a lot of little sprouts on them, but the big chunky stems had a sprout at each node.
