Now we need a sharp, clean blade. Keep everything clean otherwise your clones can get fungal infections or other nasties.
I`m using a sharp pair of scissors.
You can see I`m taking a cutting from the bottom of the plant. You can take a cutting from anywhere, in some ways it may be best to take a cutting from the top of the plant. More about this later.
The cutting should have at least two or three sets of leaves, we may well lose the bottom set while the clone is rooting.
Taking your blade peel away the outer skin from the very bottom stem of your cutting, maybe 1 cm or a bit less.
At this stage some people like to leave the cutting in water (like you would a bunch of flowers) for 24 hrs. I`m not going to bother.
Dip the bottom of the stem into the rooting gel (see pic).
