lemon grass rooting from less base than I thought possible

I'd scrutinized the lemon grass at the local stores all summer, and not found any pieces that I thought might have a bit of root on them. A couple of weeks ago, I disgustedly bought a box of lemon grass that at least looked fresh, and that had two small and one medium lemon grass bases. One of the small bases looked like it -might- have a sliver of root tissue. As of today, that piece has 1/4" to 1/2" roots, the second small piece looks like it is trying to make a root, and the large piece, which seemed most hopeless, may also be making a root!

Squee! Now where to overwinter whichever of the possible plantlets makes it? I hadn't really thought that any of them would root...
