Default Re: Don't ever give up on plants with no roots!

For propagating basjoos, it seems like the most important thing is to have a decent section of corm attached since corms can produce roots, new shoots as well as buds after calluses are formed. I've tried with pure flesh material and no corm with no success because they are basically leaves on top of each other.

Of course starting with a larger pup that already has roots works a lot faster, but I think as long as there is a section of corm, it still has a chance.
