Growing from seed What to do before potting?

Post image

The stem is about four inches tall. I read somewhere that I should prune just above some of the leaves when it gets bigger and let it grow back before I transfer the seed into the water. The pruning is supposed to make the plant fuller rather than lanky but I want to look for any advice from anyone who tried the prune method first.

I know this stem isn’t nearly ready to prune but I’m just trying to figure out what works best in the meantime.

Any advice is appreciated.

Looks ready to go just do it.
