It can be propagated by cutting leaves or branches. Perennial plants may form grouped shrubs. The rosette can be up to 9 cm in diameter. Stems erect. Leaves loosely arranged; broadly ovate to scattered triangular-ovate; generally grayish green, margin and apex reddish in strong sunlight and large temperature differences; up to 4 cm long and 1.5 cm wide.

Red young lotus likes warm, dry and ventilated environment, likes light, drought resistance, cold resistance, shade resistance, sun exposure, no obvious dormancy period, suitable for loose, breathable and water-retaining soil, and can be configured with peat soil and granular soil in a ratio of 1:1. Red young lotus leaves are green to yellow-red all the year round. The leaf margin will be red or dark red in large temperature difference between day and night or low temperature in winter. In weak light state, the leaf color will be light green, the leaves will also elongate, and the red edge of the leaf margin will also decrease. The propagation of young red lotus is generally decapitated, young cub cuttings and leaf cuttings. The cut plants can be directly cut in dry granular soil, and a small amount of water can be supplied after rooting. It is a very good variety to cultivate. The leaf insertion method is to take complete and full leaves, put them in the shade to dry the wound, and then place them on slightly wet soil. It will slowly grow roots and germinate. The process is a bit long. After beheading, the plant can grow a number of lateral buds from around the growth point, and the lateral buds can be cut off after growing up.

The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 degrees Celsius, and the winter temperature is not lower than 5 degrees Celsius. The soil is generally mixed with peat, vermiculite and pearlite, and appropriate amount of bone powder is added. Organic soil can also be used.(peat/coconut/rotten leaf soil)2 parts, garden soil 1 part (or earthworm feces), cinder 1 part mixed preparation, if the cinder has not been treated with alkali in the past, it is not harmful, only need to mix these soil evenly, water thoroughly stand until the soil is dry and then plant; watering thoroughly in the growth period, watering around the plant when the air is dry; fertilization in the growth period is generally once every 20 days; propagation methods mainly include cutting and sowing.
