Starting an Orange Star Flower from a Cutting?

I just bought and planted orange star flower, I love it, but in a wind storm one of the stalks broke off. Can I re-sprout it by planting the broken stalk directly back into the dirt or placing in water?

I would place in water until roots grow. Then use rooting hormone and plant in the ground.

Sorry to hear about the breakage. That is frustrating. Unlike most plants, I never had luck starting a broken one of the orange stars in water or dirt...they usually get moldy and die. Could be I just didn't do it right.

Friends have done well splitting the bulbs at the bottoms when they get the "mini" bulb growths. That is an easy way to fill in for next year.

I would put it in water until you see roots at least 3 to 4 inches long. Then plant it in new soil with a growing compound.
