An update on my xanadu cuttings :)  
I decided to cut the trunk down to about an inch, and I am testing out one growth in vermiculite and another in perlite. Now I will impatiently await some root growth🙃

Please leave any advice or suggestions in the comments!! I don’t have much propagation experience

did you save the leafless node? they’re called “chonks” or “wet sticks” and can be used to grow a whole new plant just like a cutting with a leaf.
