In the warmer temps those shoots will grow by inches in a couple of days and get big and strong ...if you look down at the base of the shoots when bigger you will see a difference as bettydee says a few little light coloured spots (potential nubbles) a slightly different shade of green (paler as the wood hardens) ...this shoot will grow easily once the temps are warm.I cut my shoots at between two to three feet and if done at the right time you will have a very nice umbrella plant pretty quickly.If you look closely you will see the shoot cutting ...strip the leaves off and mist in very well drained medium ...I find the plants will survive almost anything in warm moist shady situations re striking the cuttings.
