first time cloning, >>>READ<<<

Never "peel"...you need to cut. Aprox. 45% angle is good, then scrape off some of the green plant material (outer layer) at the bottom.
When you peel branches off the main stem, it damages and weakens it...sometimes even making it more apt to attract bugs.

If you are going to try and clone in a glass of water, may I suggest going to your local Walmart or fish store and buy one of those cheap "airstone pump" set ups and put it in the water you are trying to clone in. It will help, as you really need to get air in there to promote root growth.
