You could well be right. I don't know what the stuff is. It was an action
born
of desperation. The rhizomes had no viable roots and no sign of making any
when I found them. This one had stressed to the point of expiration in our
drought this summer and I had relocated it where it received more shade
and got some extra attention along with some others (mainly medians) in
the hopes of salvaging them and finding a location which suited them.
BATIK hadn't responded, tho the others did. I figured it to be a goner no
matter what I did, so dunked the rhizomes in the rooting powder and
potted. Whatever is the cause, it now appears to be growing quite well. It
may not be a good practice generally and may not be the reason it is
responding now. Anyone else know more?
