As I had mentioned previously, there will usually be a few broken roots without eyes when a fernie is dug and divided. I came up with 8 small roots which I planted in these cc containers filled with sand and watered with a mild fertilizer solution. The containers are drilled at the four quadrants and in the center by using a 1/4th inch drill and then padded at the bottom with a doubled piece of paper towel in order to keep the sand in but permit the water to drain. 8 containers could have 8 more plants given some time and patience. Just an experiment but 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'. I have 4 more with cut pieces of root so I could be having a sale in a couple of years.

I have no interest in publicity but everyone is welcome to use any pictures or text of mine in any way they choose as long as they do not try to con someone else.
