Am going to try yams as this year's experiment...

Suspended two lovely specimens from the grocery store in water about 6 weeks ago. Have lots of roots and lots of slips (?, long green sprouts with glossy foliage). Is it best to root these in water or potting mix (my inclination). Also, have just noticed over the past two days that some of the oldest leaves are developing a very strange appearance, very small yellowish blister-like formations. There are no insects, and it does not appear to be a mold or fungus. I have removed these leaves just in case, but if it is a normal senescent change it would relieve my mind if someone could comment. Do these plants develop roots easily along the shoots? There appears to be adventitious type bumps along the stems. TIA
