Since no roots still, I pulled it out and cut is
at a nice angle.


depending upon what type of plant the roots may
form at the nodes where the leaves came out from
that you removed or there may be spots on the stem
that can generate new roots, or even both...


It seems to be loving the pampering! These
guys have made slaves out of us. (Wait till
he finds out what I am about to do with
his children!)


if it is still alive that's all that counts.
you won't likely see new roots right away, not
many plants can restart them immediately but
perhaps within a week or two there should be
some signs.

again, this is dependent upon what type of
plant. some are very easy and others are
harder. mums are easy.

if you want to actually learn this sort of
thing invest some time at the library and get
some books on plant propagation.
