i accidentally beheaded sprouting seedling, tought its all over for that poor lady, left the root that was sticking out in place and after a week noticed that it has regrown first 2 fake "leafs".. its micro size but has start 2 grow second pairs of leafs
As long as taproot is intact it can survive
I'm a bonsai artist...have been a grower of all things for over fifty years. In bonsai when root bound we tease out the root ball and cut off sometimes half the root ball. With any house plant if you don't want to keep getting bigger an bigger pots you cut off two thirds of the root ball and the plant grows like crazy because what's growing below is what is growing underneath..... I just took a small bonsai saw and sawed three inches all around my five gal pots. Then put new soil in and gave it a good soak with super thrive....jezz its a plant! One guy said the same thing except he cuts the bottom of his plants off then replants in new soil. I'm doing this to reveg my plants.....let's see if a old grower of everything can get away with my technique.... I know it works on evey other plant I've ever owned. Is this weed something special??!!?!
Meant to say what's growing on to is equal to what's growing beneath.... Its called regeneration of the root ball....it works on everything I've ever done this practice with.
