Mexican primrose roots easily in water

We have a lack of cut flowers so in desparation for a dinner table decoration I cut some Mexican primrose and noticed that the flowers even after a week or two the flowers kept developing and opening. A quick look in the vase showed me long tendrils of roots. I quickly changed the water which I hadn't done and today they looks happier than ever.

I think putting them in soil is going to be a difficult task, but I'm going to try and see if you can develop it into a house plant. A long chance but fun to experiment with these ideas.
