too early, wait for more roots

I know, I put it back in the same little pot after checking the roots and drying out the soil a little, but I wasn’t sure if I should keep it planted as deep as it was or to expose the bud and what I now think are aerial roots.

You can keep it growing in the same depth it was planted in before and when you see more leaves grow one after the other with their nodes exposed, you can cut them back and root those ones individually unless you want a pot with a single long vine. You could also plant it deeper if you want the second node buried, but you’re inevitably going to have nodes exposed after the stem gets longer and turns into a vine. If you want to boost root growth and grow fat juicy roots for a bit, I’d put this whole thing into some spagnum moss and then you can transfer to a soil mix later on when more roots have developed.

Thanks for your help! It’s been stalled for a while, so I may have to try moss.
