| Looks like a good candidate for a prolonged stay in a bag. Lots of green mass. I would stay away from rooting hormones. I have found that, if they are applied to the base of the plant, they act like new eye starters, which is fine, but if the rooting hormone is still active as the growth proceeds, it will prevent roots from forming, and just go straight into another sequential eye start on the growing part, skipping the rooting part. Best to just stay away from hormones all together, and let the plant do its thing naturally. Rinse off any fuzz every time you see it. I suspect it is from the fertilizer and any other chemicals that were left on the outside of the plant.
