2. Cultivation: ① In May to June, cut off mature and healthy stems with a length of 5 to 10 cm as cuttings.

2. Insert it into the culture soil, control the air humidity at about 80%, control the indoor temperature at 25~30℃, and grow it after 30~40 days, and plant it in the pot after about 50 days.

3. When putting on the pot, lay a layer of small stones at the bottom of the pot to facilitate smooth drainage and lower the center of gravity, so as to avoid unstable plants.

④ New plants should be replaced once a year, old plants can be replaced once every two years, suitable for spring.

3. Watering: ① Fragrant dragon blood tree likes humidity, can endure drought more, also afraid of water, watering in the growing season to do "see dry see wet".

② In the heyday of leaf growth, the pot soil should be maintained in a humid state, and the air humidity should be maintained at 70~80%.

③ In summer, water can be poured once a day, and water should be sprayed on the surface of the leaves from time to time.

④ From late autumn to early winter, less watering should be done, and 0.2%~0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be sprayed on the leaves to enhance the ability of plants to resist cold.
