I have 7 tubers right now there are about 25 new starters coming and there could very likely be more after I harvest those. Everything I have here now has been grown from these 7 tubers since about Feb 23rd. I went to a seed swap and shared several extra tubers and all the rooted cutting I had at that point.
DP, The round one is my Margarita, That's the one that hasn't developed any roots. You can see that the growth is stunted multi-stemmed and the leaves don't seem to develop. The first one I pulled off of it was just the same. I put it in my toothpick holder to develop and it is but very slowly. This second one started after I took the first one off. I'll be pulling it pretty soon and hopefully it will root and grow. I don't know why it is growing this way but it does not have anything to do with the fact that it is a Margarita. I have grown them before and had very good production.
