And typically how long does it take for the roots to form from the incision? Sorry, getting carried away with info.

a deep "V" cut till the center of the stem (the pith). The duration of rooting will depend on the plant's health.
Do you leave the deep V-cut exposed to air, or wrap/cover it with sphagnum moss? In short, does it root without media?
