I would like to know how to plant. As you can see there is no stem to the root. There are a few roots sticking out. Not sure what to do. Thanks

Answer 1

I would just dig down an inch or so, just enough to hold the short roots. Do not pile up any soil over the lower stems or it could cause root rot.

Water it in and keep an eye on it so it doesn't blow away before it gets established. You could fashion a couple of small hoops out of covered wire and anchor down the leaves in a couple of places. Be sure to remove those when the plant is established.
