Joanna - I hope you see the humor in this as I'm a northern gardener (Michigan) who's still using her training wheels here in Florida. It's a whole different world down here.

A few months back, I took a teeny pot (smaller than your example) of scraggly, half-dead Ipomoea batatas Margarita, tore it into 4 pieces & planted it with some SunPatiens for the heckofit. We now call it "Cousin It".

I have LITERALLY been hacking pieces off and shoving the bare stem in other containers and they all thrive. If only I could have such luck with everything else! LOL
