I was trying to move a young Plumeria to a different spot in the yard, and accidentally broke off a bunch of roots. Now it just has a short fringe of roots.

1. Will it survive if I just re-plant it? If so, how many inches deep should I plant it?

2. Should I take a cutting from it and try to root that instead?

I bought this as a 1 gallon plant last fall at a Plumeria show, and planted it last October.
