And here is the crown cutting with a few of the lower leaves removed (and potted up, of course!) so that the nub at the base is a little longer... This makes it easier to pot up the crown and get good soil contact all around the bottom of the stem where new roots will form. I pack the potting soil pretty firmly around a crown cutting, too, and they it goes into a high humidity environment until roots form (Rob's has a good culture page on doing this).
