Hello everyone. I know this topic has been discussed before but searches have yielded me know results.
Quick background. I have one 2 year centennial, 2 second year cascades in which I dug up the first year after it sprouted and split in half to give me two plants. All are doing very well.
When our grooming and pulling up grass around the plants last night I accidentally yanked up a 2 foot long centennial root that broke off so I figured what better time than now to attempt using it to start some more.
It was a very thin root and likely will not even give me one plant but I was alright with experimenting.
I was thinking that in the future I should know what the best plan of action is here. I just cut the root into a few pieces and planted them in some planters filled with good soil. Keep them a little moist and hope for the best was my initial assumption since this is exactly what I did with my first year cascade and it is doing well. Should I have put them inside in a bottle of water as I have seen others do or what is your best suggestion for giving these the best possibility at a new life?
