A tip or middle cutting with the axial orientation retainedApexNasadaMark the polarity

A healthy fragment must retain tissues capable of growth. The cutting site is chosen according to stem structure, with no single length suitable for all species. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

Cutting a shoot at a constriction or below a nodeNode and constriction

The flat segments of epiphytic cacti are stems. In leafy cacti, water loss through the retained leaves must be considered. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

The dashed copper mark shows an example separation site. Check the health of the material and clean the tool before the procedure. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]
