i separated 3 pups from my bird of paradise, #1.(2) were cut decently and i put them in the pots the #2.the 3rd one unfortunately lost its roots and came out only as a stump.
#1 do i need to do anything special besides putting them in pots.
#2. i put this in some water and root stimulator to try and make it root. is this the best tactic or is it gone?

thanks,
mark
