you can prune them how ever you want. but only the "soft" (green) cutttings will root. this could be done either way. i did mine in water, but loz did her's in soil.

Okay, I did one of each. Hopefully both will do well!

The water cutting did not make it- the leaves are all brown and wilting off. The soil cutting still looks healthy. I hope it makes it. Should I give it something to boost it along? I gave it some root hormone when I took the cutting. Thanks.

nope, you have the right plan! just pretend it is already rooted and go from there!

I pruned mine back quite a bit and stuck the cuttings back in the same pot...so far so good, it's been almost a month and the only one I lost was the smallest one. I have new growth on some and the rest are still healthy. Good luck! ![[grin]](im/graemlins/grinnnn.gif)

Thank you- i just want to do what's best for my cutting. Plus I'd love to know that I can root it successfully
