Sorry didn’t know where to post this I just signed up .. not to familiar with the lay out....
So how have a quick question...I bought 9 sticks ...all of them were dried out barely hanging on ... but still green ... just a bit wrinkled and the roots were dry for a day or so at the store I’m guessing... got them super cheap..
.immediately before I left the store ... basically as soon as I saw them I made a make shift pot witha terra cotta pot and a grocery bag and some water to get them drinking ASAP bought them and took them home ... I kept them in rock water for about a week ... some of the plants started to loose their wrinkles and fatten up so now I have the healthy ones in soil...
but 3 of them .....they are doing good still in water but they are still a little wrinkled... when I loook at the roots it looked like the plant itself made only one new fresh root that it’s using to feed from ... you can tell a live root from a dead one ... ...i think anyway..
so I have these wrinkled stalks submerged in little plastic shot glasses they came in ....they are just pressed into the soil next right to the other 6 that are planted in soil......
so basically I’m asking is there a way to stimulate root growth bu maybe pruning a few dead roots away .. i also put a super tiny bit of root hormon in the water ... like a very little bit...also about 1000th of a gram of asprin in the water and some shiligit...also a Very small amount... my plants are pretty much doing awesome just wanted to know if it’s ok to prune some dead roots to possibly stimulate growth .. thanks ..
