Suggestions on cutting a brugmansia

Hi
I was given permission to take a cutting from a variegated brugmansia. I'm curious if the small offshoots from the main branch are enough to grow a full plant? Or do I need to cut an entire limb?
Should I use clone X? Or a rootig powder? Also should I use a clone dome? Thank you

I zoomed in on the little off shoots. I don't want to cut a limb so hoping those will be good enough!

You treat Brugmansia cuttings like you do any other common garden cutting. I take mine about 6 inches long and put into a well draining cutting soil mix. I do use rooting hormone, although it's probably not necessary. Keep moist and they should root in about 8 weeks, probably less. Those branches pictured are perfect size for cuttings.

I root all my brugs in water because I've had poor expirence with soil , in the water you have a clear visual whats going on. Just change the water daily, that's a nice brugmansia Hunter , very nice.
They are easy plants to grow , nice variegation

I always root em in water myself. Brugs root easily IME. I've even had success rooting branches that are about 18 inches long and nearly 2 inches thick with no leaves. They aren't too hard.

thanks I've been stalling cause I get one chance I feel like. I don't wanna fuck it up.
The flowers smell like warm peaches... You just gotta get them as the sun starts to set and they start to cool a bit. That's when they smell the bestz
