It’s a cutting or clone, stuck it in water and didn’t think it would work so I didn’t check on it till tonight. Bout a week old.

The other plant same thing but used soil and it’s got like a six inch root also all I have is 10 gallon fabric pot left. Hate to waste them.theyre in a seedling starter that root is just wrapping around the bottom. Again didn’t think it would work.

If you can get it out of there without serious damage I’ll bet she’ll take. Maybe have to use your scissors to cut away the starter cell.

Get the pot ready with some dirt and make a hole and just work quickly.

Use a solo cup for a pot for now if you don’t have anything else. Buy you some time.

Just make a hole in the pot big enought to plop the roots and all in the hole without breaking roots to stress it. Spin the plant as u let it go into the hole so the roots kinda wrap and not get crushed or broke pushing it in. If u have mykos or great white for the roots sprinkle roots before burying. Bury it and water away try it best to make sure the plants bruised good and all roots are covered with no air gaps pack the dirt in but don’t push hard as u don’t wanna break the roots.

Ok gonna try it out, so it’s ok if the root loops in the soil it doesn’t have to be straight?

Transplant went ok, but I forgot the myco. Put the longer one in the 10 gal and other one in plastic cup. See how this goes lol
