Just make sure that there is a node left on the branch after you take a cutting and new growth will develop there.
Is that important for the cutting to root better or is just for the mom to grow new branches ?
Im sorry but is this a serious question? you have 1200+ posts... It has nothing to do with the cutting rooting. Its purely for the plant to grow a new branch.
The fact that I have 1200+ post doesn't mean that I know every details about all the techniques. For instance I could have been growing for 10 years with great success using only seeds and soil![]()
