Nice that you could get another plant from a torn tip. Guess Bill Lee's
right: try it and see what
works.
I think you're right about the kind of roots--water roots are not the same.
That's why after I had a good start on the water roots I began slowly adding
potting soil to the water until I had the plant actually growing in soil
instead of water and putting out the kinds of roots it needs for planting out
in the spring.
