if i were you, ill cut all the bottom roots, like chop it off, and make sure the knife you gonna use is sterilized spray fungicide or brush it, i use neem oil for mine, i just dip them, after that i let them dry for 10days, hang them, after they dry out, soak them in a root hormone for 2hrs, let them re-hydrate, after that plant them in your choice of media, make sure your soil is not super wet, just moist, since its already soaked in a root hormone,
like this
i use coco coir, organic compost, worm casting, perlite, biochar, mykos, azomite, volcanic rocks "cinders" on my soil blend, i use it on everything from flowering plants to vegetables, they are fluffy and when i water, water just go straight to the bottom,
