Ye Xian is a perennial succulent herb, which belongs to the genus Cactus of Caryophyllaceae, that is to say, Ye Xian is a kind of cactus. Ye Xian, also known as Xianmu, unicorn, cactus and so on, is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang and Taiwan.

Because most of the places where Ye Xian grows are arid semi-desert areas, Ye Xian is relatively easy to raise, is not afraid of strong light exposure, but also resistant to barren, if you want to raise Ye Xian, the general soil has no requirements, but it is best to choose sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability.

In recent years, Ye Xian has gradually replaced cactus and become an ideal rootstock for some plants, which can be grafted on plants such as rat tail, cactus finger and small cactus, because Ye Xian has a strong affinity with these plants, so it can survive quickly after grafting.

2. Cuttage

In autumn, the 2-year-old or 1-year-old shoots of Ye Xian are cut into cuttings about 10cm long, the cut can be dipped in plant ash or cigarette ash for embalming, and then the leaf nodes are inserted into the pure sand about 3cm.
