RickCorey said:I read a book about cuttings. The author always made a 90 degree cut at the top, and a 45 degree cut at the bottom - or was it the reverse?


A 45 degree cut on the bottom will increase the surface area of the cut, helping some kinds of plants absorb more moisture through the cutting.
