Here is the top of the stem. Leaves look great!

I guess my final question is:
1--"Should I re-cut the longer section so it can be more of a TIP CUTTING than it is now?????"

2--I could also brush off the growing leaves from the smaller section and see if that would give the roots a bit more of an incentive to grow. But--this section does not have leaves on top....

3--My friend leaves on July 14th. I can wait until then and just leave things be and package it up the way it is. I'll do a good job on the packaging--I am also sending 2 rooted/growing Brugmansia cuttings home with him.
All these will have to be hand-carried on the plane. And--he is still on crutches recovering from a broken hip surgery! That is why he has been here with me for so long....
Good luck!

Thanks again! Gita
