Got a girl ready to transplant, with no branches until about 14" up (yes nodes but no branching from them). I want to burry the big gap to save me head room but ive heard how you can rot the stalk. Ive heard if wet soil splashes up on the stalk it can rot it, if thats the case then hows it i see people burring plants up to the first branch. Do they just just cover it in soil do they shave it a little like in cloning??? Tips tricks hints common sense that im just missing is much appreciated .

I've done it with tall streached seedlings just burry in well draining and airated soil and water less so the soil isn't so damn around the stem and it eventually grows roots
