Hi, I want to try my hand at propagating and I want to start with the bad boy as it’s got this leggy bit hanging off. Where do I make my cuts? Thanks

cut where marked. remove the marked leaves to expose the nodes better. plop in water \& expect roots in 2 ish months 😊

Thanks, once it’s rooted from the nodes where do the new leaves and stems form from?

#### plantgeek replied on 2025-07-16

because this cutting is at the end of the vine, it will continue to grow the way it is now. the vine on the main plant will produce new stems from existing nodes, often two or three.

Excellent, thanks

#### Autumn replied on 2025-07-17

They will keep stemming from the main stem and sheaths will form on the stems and that’s where the new leaves will come in

Each cut you make should have a node, one of those little bumps with a brown bump, this is where the roots will sprout. You should cut along the main stem.
