Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Have ?'s re: potting up my Black Magic EE, 1 by toni5735

I purchased two Black Magic EE's from Home Depot which are beginning to sprout and I would like to pot them up to get a head start for when it warms up outside. I'm using approx. 1 gal. size containers.

My questions are:

1. Do I bury the purple sprout slightly or should I let it peek out.

2. One of the EE's had some rot happening at the bottom end so I trimmed it up to clean tissue and then sprinkled with cinnamon powder as was suggested in one of the threads here. I then buried it in the pot. Did I do right or wrong?

I'll post some pics of my project.

Thanks,
Toni
