Alright guys I'm doing an experiment for our sake. I have split the root into 3 pieces. One piece is outdoors in a plastic bag which I have spritzed with water before sealing. Arizona weather is essentially a life sized incubator if you know how to use it, lol! Anyway, I put the remaining two pieces into a cup and submerged it with water and covered it in a plastic bag. Right now it is is an east facing window sill. I will post updates

That being said, I doubt this experiment will work, because the root has no nodes or anything. Not very experienced in any of this.
