I found myself a root

While I was exiting out of the public market, I noticed a strange root on the side-walk. It seemed like a vegetable root of some kind, I took it since no one was looking. I asked some of our tenants there and they kinda guess it was a mustard greens root. My plant was to put it in the water like what I did with the kangkong and potato leaves. But when I told this to grandma, she said I can plant it in the soil already since it has a large amount of roots. But soil had to be moist and loosen before I could plant it. I was worried because there isn't an empty pot out here until I saw a dead plant nearby, removed it and replaced it with this root. I hope it doesn't die.

Yes, it will grow easily because it has roots intact.

I was planning to put in a set of bigger soil, how ever they were ants everywhere so put it in this pot. I hope it does grow, it's the first mustard green raised by me. @acelawrites

First time I found a root like this @responsiveme but I admit I'm never positive with planting it with the soil.
