Ginda,
If I understand you right, the leaf part was still attached to the
petiole. If that is correct the leaf should be removed because it will
cause the budded part to transpire and you don't want it to lose
moisture. Of course if the leaf part is very small it may not have an
effect on it.

I also left a little bit of the leaf - should I cut that off? (The
drawings in the book showed no leaf at all, but the stick I took had
leaves.)
