How to promote branching?


Hi! So i have a Euphorbia Rubra (I think) and I want to make it branch. I made the new propagation this week (image 1), and thought the branching would happen from where I cut it on the original plant (image 2). I’m reading more and I think that’s not the case.. so how do I make it branch?

Do I pinch off the top leaves to promote branching? How many leaves? Or do I just trim the whole top tip off? Is this safe to do on the new propagation or should I wait for that to establish itself and just do it on original plant? Will anything grow from the cut I made? They currently face a South facing window, do I need to move to a dark corner and not water for it to branch?

So many questions.. not a clue what to do. I’d love any tips and advice please! <3
