Question: How do you pot a plant stem cutting?
Option 0: Identify the bottom end of the plant cutting. Nodes are always below buds, so locate a node. Nodes look like darker lines around the stem, or large bumps. Buds are shaped like the caret symbol (^). The node will be on the bottom end of the plant cutting. Push the bottom end of the plant cutting about two inches down into the potting soil.
