If they’re mushy then it has root rot but if not then they’re normal
0 Me gustaYeah, it's hard to tell if it's mushy or just wet. If it's wet, just plant it. If it's mushy cut the stem off above the roots, let it dry for about a week, dusted with rooting hormone and plant it.

Which rooting hormone do you use?
0 Me gustaI don't have a recommendation for a specific brand but most garden centers would carry it, maybe even a box store. Make sure it's called rooting hormone or rooting powder and not root stimulator. They function differently. You want the rooting hormone. It comes in a powder or a gel and either one would be fine. I think the powder is fairly inexpensive and you only need a light dusting on the cut end maybe an inch up the stem.
