LOL.Good one.

Hi Pino,
Planting it diagonally as opposed to horizontally is better IMO .
The reason is that if the cutting sends a shoot, the shoot would be closer to the surface, while the buried part won't dry out .

As for the stimulation, heat is the better thing for that. Keep the pot at 20°C/30°C constantly (no wind blow while opening doors or windows) , that will get the cutting to wake up - if it dares to !
The best is to keep it in an "humidity bin" but not pushing humidity in the bin - just pushing heat.

@rafaelissimo, is it me or did you plant the cutting upside down? :)
the last year's leaf mark should be at the bottom and 2 bumps should be above that leaf mark.

It was upside down-I reversed it. But the roots are at the top-read #21

i had a very bad luck with upside down cutting. it was having such a hard time trying to grow, i just chucked it. it rooted, and it put on the branch. then the branch would start to twist to get the right orientation then the leave will keep drop. while other right side up cuttings were growing like crazy. after it dropped last leave, it was putting on more... i decided it was time to end the misery and dumped it. 

now.. for your situation, since you reversed it and put the whole thing under the soil.. best thing to do is wait and see what comes out of it. i think you might want to leave right side out of the soil just a bit, or that's what i have seen other members doing. 

and "that's amore" is over played. try "you're nobody till somebody loves you" .

Pete -lol but it brings back fond memories.  ; )

So you've planted the cutting on its side now right Rafael? If that's correct, leaving a bud or two slightly exposed or very near the surface might help. A nice warm environment will encourage growth also.

Under warm, favorable conditions a cutting may go ahead and grow though, even if upside down. It may take a little longer but I think it should have grown anyway. I recently rec'd a small tree (rooted cutting) that had obviously been rooted upside down. The top node had started out growing down but made a sharp turn and grew upward toward the sun. It came with a bonus too. It had started branching below the surface and I was able to prune off two very small rooted starts that were below the soil line. I now have two small treelets growing in addition to the parent rooted cutting. Nice bonuses :) !

Hi Bill, I am not planting this cutting sidewise, it is vertical in a cup of perlite, it has roots but I do not recall seeing any swollen or potential buds, right now only the smallest tip is poking iut of the cup because the roots are thick at the top. The nodes in the pic above are spots where a leaf grew last year, but I do not see any future buds or green on the cutting, hopefully something will sprout out of the perlite, it is in a humidity bin right now under gro-lights.
