I've searched here and elsewhere to find out how long to make the sections and wasn't sure. Goal is maximum starts. The 18" piece I have has 11 rings and the same number of buds; cutting it into 11 smallish pieces seems chancy (unless it's like horseradish). Should I go with 6? One site recommends wrapping the sections in damp paper towels, placing them in a plastic bag and letting them sit in a warm spot for a couple of weeks until roots form. I like that idea since my last attempt failed when the cores rotted out. (In all fairness I was given stalks (by the same person who handled me this and believes I can work miracles) that had sat in a bucket of water for few weeks then allowed to go dry--there were dried up brown roots that were not viable.)

Has anyone successfully tried the plastic bag method? (I suppose I could cut fewer sections and then cut again if I achieved growth.) What's your tried and true way to propagate SG?
