Yes you are all right, always ALWAYS cut just below a leaf node as this is where the majority of cambium tissue sits which is responsible for adventitious root growth . She is too far too concerned about the parent plant. If growth on the parent plants is an issue then just cut back to just above the next node down on that and all will be fine. Also, depends of the plant but normally Spring soft wood cuttings will result in swift rooting and a full small plant being created that very same year.
Everyone listen up! your supposed to cut BELOW a leaf joint, Not above a leaf joint and they don't take a year to root, they can take as little as two weeks and 4 at the most.
never heard of anyone cutting ABOVE the node. that's not too efficient. instead, cut just BELOW a leaf node and propagate that way. you'll see results a LOT faster
I live in New Hampshire (USA) and am following your instructions. I have two bushes (Japanese Barberrys) that I love and would like to put in more than one place in my garden. Today I transplanted the cuttings, following your instructions. I will let you know in the coming months how they are doing :).
You should not be propagating Japanese barberry. It’s an invasive exotic species and extremely harmful to the environment, especially in northeast USA. It has totally taken over native forests here. That’s why it was banned where you live, in New Hampshire
What an amazing little video ❤️❤️🌺 This deserves a million likes! I’ve just took what you’ve learned me and took lots of cuttings from my fuschia. I decided to use an old ice cream box with holes in the bottom for ventilation and drainage and some cling film on top 🤣 Us gardeners are a crafty lot! Little question, where’s the best place to situate the cuttings now? On a windowsill or shaded at all times?
Hi, on some websites it says to cut below a leaf node, but here you say above, which one is correct or does it not matter? Thanks for the sharing your knowledge!
Contradicts RHS and BBC GW info re where to cut cutting off. Lovely, clear video, but cutting ABOVE a leave node??? The good stuff is in the node, so I thought. Please clarify, so newbie gardeners don't waste their efforts!

my thoughts exactly
Mine too - always below the leaf joint - this is where the roots sprout from
@@kenashdown7316 let me ask, so you cut below leaf joint(2:58), do you remove the leaves ? i assume yes but let me be sure as i am beginner here
@@markmark7267 yes Mark you do indeed remove the leaves :0)
Yes! Below a leaf node! And i come here to learn things

You're right, all the rooting hormones are in the node. They sprout out like crazy when cut just under the node.
I've taken cuttings for White Buddleia and Hydrangea's and made a video on these about 3 years ago. Also took cuttings for Spirea, Lavender and Hebe.

Absolutely love your channel and the music is soooooo relaxing! Thank you
I have NEVER cut above !!! Impossible to create cuttings if you cut above !
totally confused now. I ALWAYS thought it was BELOW a leaf node ? I`ve never been successful taking cuttings
Yes, should be below leaf node.
Did it work cutting above leaf node? Always thought below was best.
My cuttings are doing nicely, TFS!
