You can find more macropropagation information then you'll probably need in most macropropagation manuals and the other things are just common sense.
Growing points emerge above leaf scars and leaf scars are generally very close together so by increasing the distance between leaf scars that leaves more room to work. It's important to know that scars from modified leaves are the same as scars from true leaves, the main difference is speed. Modified leaves are produced much faster than true leaves mainly because modified leaves do not have leaf blades.



By laying a mature growing point on it's side, the resulting growth will curve upwards while quickly producing modified leaves but also spacing them further apart than normal leaf scars.
