As for the stem - I don't think the very long stem should be buried into the media. It could just rot in there, and maybe kill the whole plant.

Thanks! And how far do i cut it then? And is it no problem i lose all those (probably viable) roots? It has been buried with the whole stem for years in regular soil..?
