Hi all,
I didn't want to put this in the "sick plants and problems" section because I don't really think it is a problem, I just got to wondering what this is. I have noticed in the past little white bumps on the stalks and stems near the base of my plants as they age. They don't seem to have any negative effects on the plants, I'm just wondering what these things are.
Thanks everyone,

It's roots trying to come out, it's called root initialization. Don't worry about it.

those are normal stem bumps that form on the woody base of a plant.

No it wouldn't. You want to take cuts that are new, very green, and very fleshy. Are you having trouble getting your cuts to root?
 
I was having trouble cloning until I tried root shooters, all of my cuttings rooted.
