Hi again,
If you're going to do it, here are a couple more suggestions.
You say "well amended soil," so I'm not sure if you're planning to use your outdoor garden soil with amendments, but if you are, when you're starting things in pots you'll have much better luck if you use a good quality store-bought potting soil/mix. That means it will be composed mostly of Canadian peat and it will feel "light and fluffy" when it's moist. Garden soils can have pathogens in them that could really mess with the plants you're starting. Growing thing in pots is very different from growing things in the ground. Don't, under any circumstances, use Hyponex brand! Bad stuff--for anything! I recommend against Miraclegro because they seem to have no "quality control" and what you get can be different in every bag (unless they've changed recently, they don't even list the ingredients on the bags), but if it's the only thing you can get, go for it and keep your fingers crossed you get a good bag!
After you have them potted up, saturate the soil and then don't water again till the soil is about 80% dry, all the way down in the pot. That will help new roots develop as the few existing roots need to "look deeper" in the soil for moisture as the soil dries. If in doubt, don't water. Under watering won't do serious damage. Keeping them too wet can kill them.
If you're starting with shoots that already have at least "some" roots, rooting hormone probably won't help--probably won't hurt anything either!
And it's gonna be more than a week for you to know if you're successful or not. Probably 2-3 weeks before you'll be able to tell if they're actively growing. Be sure you start them in "small" pots. If the pots are too big the soil will stay wet too long and they'll struggle, at best, or die, at worst.
Trying new things is fun! Will be looking forward to your report of success,
Skybird
