Has anyone try to grow cutting upside down. I did this by mistake and later I find out this cutting is actual upside down. However the green bud still push out fron the top (bottom) and the root is growing like nut at the bottom (top). Will this baby going to make it?

It seems to be doing well. If it were me I think I would up pot it, and lay the cutting on its side with the bud pointing up. Then sit back and wait, should not take long for it to push up through the soil.

Oh no - yet another way to go wrong ;-)
I have some cuttings lying sideways in a plastic bag with sphagnum moss, because I can't tell which way is up.

I wouldn't stress over the matter. It might slow development down a pinch, but I have a feeling in the long run it wouldn't matter.
As an experiment I once intentionally tried this with a porthos cutting, it took a while but eventually the plant figured out which direction it should be growing in.

Ive done it recently because had more nodes on top side then in bottom. I did it out of convenience because of the containers i was using. I figured if the can grow sideways then upside down should be ok. Also sometimes its alittle troubling which way is which aleast on some cuttings. Will see what happens. Good luck with yours. But yours looks grate. You have roots instead of leaves which is better. You might have found a trick to rooting lol
