The first new leaf or two will be small and sometimes deformed. But in my experience, the new growth from a bottom cut (the part of the plant that was already rooted) will get back to mature size faster than growing from the top cut (the propagation cut with no roots)

Oohh thanks, but what about the top growth? Is it now reverted too its little baby age?
