Marked photo, you would cut above the node or marked area. You must leave the node itself since that is where the new stems will form.
Always cut above a node the photo wasnโ€™t great but I marked it up anyway at 2 potential spots. The node is the area the leaf comes out of on the stem. Now money Trees are unique because the leaf starts at the stem not where the umbrella is. So I took a photo of mine for reference. If you zoom in you will see 3 node all potential areas to cut you will need to look for the same areas on yours. Iโ€™ll mark mine after I send this, otherwise my writing will be lost. But you want to cut right above a node so that your one stem will form 2 out of the node you cut.



Let me know if you need more info, Iโ€™m not always the best at explaining ๐Ÿ’•
