Lisa, if you don't want to graft it (and I don't know that grafting is any easier than rooting it this time of year), per Hetty's advice about shipping it to Florida Colors, why not bag it, using a small zip-lock and moist, long-fibered sphagnum moss? I seem to have better and faster success bagging than the way I rooted my plants for years, in 100% coarse perlite.
I am sending you a T-Mail
