syl726 Member Joined: Dec 2003 Georgia	Should cuttings be made directly on a node or a "pinch" next to it? Should a node be put submerged into water for rooting? I had a few leaves trying to grow underwater once from a node.Of course they didn't make it. Confused on where exactly to make my cut

But ya, i think it'll grow as long as you got a stem with leaves on it, or a jade leave.
