I’d cut right under the 2nd to last developed leaf closest to the node, and cut that leaf off. You could move to the next node as a safer alternative

Thank you so much for the visual help😊

Cut it about an inch below the node and put submerge the node in a glass of water with some liquid fertilizer. Keep lye leaves dry and in good lighting. Works great!!
