# I feel like I can get more out of this cutting but I’m not sure where…

I feel like I can get more out of this cutting but I’m not sure where I should cut that would make sense. Can someone maybe edit this pic with markings to show me? TIA

Cut at blue cross hatches, that will leave you with 3 single leaf node cuttings you can prop in water. Discard the red scribbly bits of vine. The two remaining red tick portions are node cuttings and can be propped but not so well in water. I think people have better luck with node props using prop boxes with moss, perlite etc.
