Well, I just checked on my tubers, many seem to have done surprisingly well with little care, just lightly dusted off and thrown in a grocery bag and into an unheated area of the home. Actually, those ones did MUCH MUCH better then the ones I fussed over!

Some where kept in an area that got a little warm however, and now have long up to a foot long strands of leggy spagetti looking shoots. I have an idea though... I had a lot of luck last spring with taking cuttings, cutting just below the maristem (sp?) about 95% of my cuttings rooted with no issues or difficulties. Now, these that I have now are way to immature to survive cut off from the tuber, but I wonder, if I burried them, would they form roots? Has anyone tried this sort of thing before? I am going to try... but wondering if anyone else has tried this before...

I remember last year I planted one of my plants deep, and when I dug it up just like you said there was a tuber on the stem. I am just wondering if you could trick an overstretched shoot that has been desperately trying to find light for a few weeks to grow roots and shoots along its meristems... I am going to try....
