What's the best way to start clippings a lot of times I see plants and I'm able to take small clippings from them but I need to know the best way to start this with?

I found a new critter among the cucumber (yes, 🥒, not 🍈! 🤣) blooms this morning. Instead of freaking out, I googled a description of said pestie, what it was found on, and in no time I had a pretty good idea of what it is AND the solution to eradicating it. Bonus points: I already have the hand-pump pressure sprayer thingy and organic bacteria-based solution that specifically targets caterpillars — BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) — on hand and it’s still cool enough in the morning to use it. Bam! Buh-bye baby pickleworm. By George, I think I’m getting this! 😏🤯🤯💚💚🥳 🚫🐛

Definitely need to start with a bigger base next time
