Methods of reproduction:

There are mainly cutting, ramet, cutting leaf cutting and branch cutting.

Leaf insertion: lay the complete mature leaves on the moist sand with the leaves facing up and back down, without covering the soil and placing them in a shady place. in about 10 days, leaflets and new roots can grow from the base of the leaves, and the root system can be buried in the soil. after that, let it bask in the sun and water properly, and gradually it will grow into a strong new plant.

Branch cuttings can be cut with tillers or top branches, and the length of the cuttings is unlimited, but after the cut is dry, remove the lower leaves and insert them into the sand bed to avoid excessive water evaporation. Generally, it takes about 20 days to take root, and it can be watered after rooting. Before rooting, it is a normal phenomenon that the bottom leaves are dry and atrophied. The root system grows well and will recover naturally after sufficient water absorption. The soil should not be too wet, otherwise the cuts will turn yellow and rot easily. The pot can be changed when the root is 2-3 cm long, and ramet is best carried out in spring.
