If you clip the top of the ashwaghanda vine, will it begin to sprout 2 new shoots? Thank you for the video

[@adriennefloreen]

Great video but Ashwagandha doesn't need prime garden soil, it actually grows better in a mixture of rock and sand and a little bit of soil because that's more similar to it's native habitat.

Can leaves also provide benefits usually gotten from roots (like benefit for the liver )?

[@adrienneh.978]

My ashwaganda plant died back when I needed to transplant it. It was small, but some leaves were still thriving. I went away for 10 days and now it's wilting. The soil is now over moist, so I was going to transplant it into chicken coop rich soil in a pot to allow roots to dry out a bit. Is that enough? Should I do something else?
