Cupid leaves can germinate in about a month. after germination, wet the surface with a spray can every day, be careful not to water it through, because the roots have not yet grown well, it is unlikely to absorb nutrients, and the growth still depends on the nutrition supply of the leaves themselves. the main purpose is to prevent the leaves from shrinking. If the leaf insertion is carried out in summer, it is best to mix some germicidal drugs in the water to avoid the phenomenon of rotting roots and withered seedlings due to damp. When it grows to about 3cm, it can be put on the pot.
