Some markets will package up several stalks. 4-6 stalks will be a good number to start.
What to look for: If possible buy stalks that have sections of root base at the end of the stalk. If the leaves come all the way to the bottom of the stalk, you will have to pull some of the leaves off the stalk.
Two leaves have been peeled off of the stalk. Unroll the leaves to expose the base.
Place the stalks in a glass, jar or vase and place in a sunny
window or bright spot outside.

In a few more days and one or two new plants might also form in these spaces. The new plants are usually green and will face up.
