Make a 45-degree angle cut just below a leaf node. This increases the surface area for root growth.
Make a straight cut at the top, just above a leaf node.
Remove all leaves from the bottom half of the cutting.
Leave a few leaves at the top to support photosynthesis.
Remove any flowers or buds to direct all energy toward root development.
(Optional) Apply Rooting Hormone: Dip the wet, angled cut end into rooting hormone powder or gel. Tap off the excess. This step is highly recommended to stimulate faster, stronger root growth.
