Update: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly,
Ugly, The largest Margarita potato I stored and my hopes for the most plants rotted. "YUK"
It came out of storage nice and firm and in good shape, but I made a small tear in the skin while washing it before placing it in the container. I guess that was all it took.
Bad, I have not had any luck rooting the long thick fibrous roots in water. Some of them start to rot on the ends where then had been broken off and others just haven't done much. I will take some of the ones I haven't used yet and try planting them in pots and putting them on my seed table and see if I get anything from them.
The good, Here is a picture of my first starters there are 9 of them in this cell pack and they are doing wonderful. I have 8 more in my rooting jar several of those are ready to more to cell packs and that potato ( the Tri-color I started this thread with) is doing great, nice and firm, and still producing.
