yep... sure did it... recieved a cutting recently and it was so perfectly wraped with wet paper towel and press and seal.. I have just kept it warm and wet and the root nubbies have formed. Did not pay close enough attention until I realized the top half is drying out and looking bad.. unwraped the bottom and has leaves trying to grow... downward! The cutting is upside down.. looked more closely and sure enough , the nodes are upside down. I have about 3" of area with white root nubs and a node sprouting beginnings of leaves... the rest is dry and no rooting... it is a thick woody cutting several inches long.. still fairly fresh... Maya... I would hate to try just rurning it over and starting over .. let the new root nubs die.. any other suggestions... a very DUH! moment...

..I am thinking of putting the wet paper towel a bit lower and trying to get more nubbies to start a little lower and include some of the ones already starting.. just let the ones near the "now" top die?
