That was a leading question.
This plant and the other I am not showing, were gently bent to damage the stem, when they were only wee sprouts. Then kept trained with a twisty. I kept the stem pinned down and covered with a little dirt which has since washed away.
The base of the stalk has a knuckle where the plant was bent. Those 'roots' coming out of the base of the knuckle have grown without being covered.
I also l also folded a stem 180° down, then 180° back up and loosely bound with sports tape. Had I not cut it down the middle and electrocuted it, I'm sure the plant would have done fine.
So, my answer is supercropping can be done as slowly and gentile as the stem being supercropped will allow.
