I bought them from fresh hops.Now this is my first year growing so I can't advise you on the water and planting. For which direction, if you can determine what direction the buds are growing then plant is so that they grow up through the soil. If you can't determine that then you are supposed to plant them horizontial. Thats what I hear read and followed. Where did you get your rhizomes. Those look like branches as compared to the ones that I got but now that is almost 2 and a half weeks 4 of 5 rhizomes here are sprouting out of the ground. Good Luck. I know someone can advise you here on the planting.

I have a raised bed all ready for these guys that gets a pretty good amount of sun.I would put them in separate buckets filled mostly with premium topsoil, drill some holes in the bottom . Then they can be moved anytime you want or repositioned towards the sun,etc,,, I would put them in the bucket at a forty five degree angle. In your case i would put the wider edge down, and the narrower sides more up. Cover with 2-3 inches on top . You should see activity in five days or so, i would not add water myself. Just the premium topsoil.
