That plant definitely looks like Princess. That is the coloration it has. Its difficult to tell because you did not pan out to show the whole plant, but what that looks like on the face of it is a side shoot forming. I get those a lot on my mail oldest Wizard. The plant in the clear container needs a different support. These are climbers. They need a support that will allow the roots to actually attach and clasp. Not just to be tied to and produce adventitious roots that hang out in the air. It needs a thick moss pole. This is an offset of my Wizard that I took last season and let get some size and planted in the ground, this is the sort of totem it needs. Maybe not this thick around, but a serious padded support. When you plant a cutting, if you have the 'luxury' (because, sometimes, no MOST of the time, the seller is just damn selfish and gives the smallest cutting possible...) you should plant as many nodes into the soil as you can, because each node will produce roots, and the primary goal is to establish a cutting with the best root system you can in order to have a stable plant with the support it needs to thrive.
