Has anyone ever seen roots coming from the middle of the stem of a plant? Here is a picture of what I am talking about

Like this...endparenthesis said:In nature if a plant ends up getting uprooted it can start putting new roots down and sending new shoots up and start a whole new batch of plants. Or it might root into whatever the plant is touching above the bottom and spread in that direction. A lot of stem plants will start sending up new shoots if you weigh them down on their side.
Trees in swamps/bogs will do that very thing when they fall over.Colin_BC said:Like this...endparenthesis said:In nature if a plant ends up getting uprooted it can start putting new roots down and sending new shoots up and start a whole new batch of plants.

I had a confused piece of limnophila I did this to. It rooted at both ends and all spots of growth in between shot up new shoots.
