I know this seems odd, but most times, we would simple have composted the stock, root and soil, right after cutting. The only reason, I didn't do this is because I just didn't get around to it yet. In my tardiness, the plant decided it wanted to keep on living so here we have a sprout! It should live but we will see if it turns into a hermaphrodite from the stress of the SEVERE pruning...LOL! (I don't know what else to call that. )
