Yes you can you see those little brown bumps going up the main stem? Those are nodes make sure when you cut it you make sure it has nodes that is where the new roots will grow

I would recommend leaving the prop out overnight and then putting it in water to grow

I've never heard of leaving the prop out before putting it in water! What is this for?

#### Leslie replied on 2026-07-05

Thank you! I will try that, I want to make the plant bushier instead of it just growing straight up.

I believe its to prevent rot! So the wound has time to callous.

Correct!
