My dog broke this branch off this morning and found all these breaking buds for new branches. Some are growing up and some are growing down. You can't see it but almost all of the nodes have a bit of green peeking out.

I am going to root the main stem using ScoTi''s method. WIll snip the smaller branches off after the big one is rooted.

I let this branch dry for almost 2 weeks then put it in 2" of water. This is what it looks like after 8 days. I will pot it and as soon as I see new leaves growing I will amputate the three branches on top and root them. The main trunk is long enough that I could even root another section of that. So many new plants from one broken branch.
