Well, since each little joint will put out roots I was planning on picking off the leaves, starting at the place where the plant naturally strikes the ground after planting the little pot.
From that point I am picking off the leaves for about 18 inches in lenth. Placeing that lenght in a trench of several inches deep (my soil starts to clay up after about 6-8 inches.
Once the roots have developed they will decide how deep they need to go all on their own. YMMV
Placeing that lenght = Placing that length
