Then you plant the plug, and that avoids the problem mentioned above of the roots collapsing. Plugs can be made of rockwool, coco peat, or just a bit of moist pro mix. Anything can work as rooting media, as long as it holds air and water.
Great info regarding plugs!

Thanks for the tip.

I have some rooting hormone and have used it in the past.
