I know that you can divide sarr rhizomes but is it possible to start plants from root cuttings? My flavas are in 11 inch deep pots and I have roots growing out the bottom. Being one to never throw things away, I was wondering if I could root them.

I asked this same question earlier this year and was told no.
I received a division that came with a couple of broken roots. I stuck them in the moss anyway, but nothing happened.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

after it goes dormant break off the smallest growth point and feed it well the following growing season, it can be blooming size the next spring.
