This polarity behavior isvery important , therefore often, for the markingupper page cuttings , trim it diagonally.
In varieties withleaves edged more difficultis to obtain a repetition of this feature in descendant plants obtained from cuttings - plants growing out ofbuds tiedin the green leaf tissue will have leavesuniformly greenTo avoid this, there is a trick to remove the green part from thebottom part cuttingsAfter placing the cuttings in the substrate, the cuttings are covered with foil and placed in a placeat a temperature of 22-26 ° C
