Kaylenew, you're right. I'm so sorry, my bad. I've been so obsessed with documenting the different shape of the juvenile vs. mature-growth leaves over the past years that I have not put any pics of stems besides this one:


I usually try to document more aspects of a plant and you are right, that entry does not have enough pics of the other features beyond the gorgeous leaves. I'll take more pics and add them to the database when I get a chance, hopefully this weekend.

This one shows the little root nubs that form at the nodes. (A node being where a leaf attaches to stem.) If they make contact with water or soil, the root nubs will grow into actual roots. A cutting should have at least 1 leaf and a node with noticeable aerial root nubs that look plump and healthy, and ready to grow into roots.


Your plant does not look like the stems have grown enough to yield cuttings, but if there are quite a few of them and you see some root nubs, there's no harm at all in trying. At worst, the cutting could fail to take root. The stump from which it was cut will grow a new vine soon to replace what was cut.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
