How did you know where to cut the tubers. I was given several foot and half
thick tubers this spring. I tried the same thing. Only the end pieces
grew. The others just sat there and slowly rotted.

They will grow at every node where there are roots and sprouts. I got
about 70% of the tubers to grow. Those that died were probably because
they were inundated with string algae for about 6 weeks.
