Before cuttings, select 8-10cm sturdy and thick tip branches, cut them to dry and insert them into suitable soil, irrigate enough water, and grow normally after 3 weeks. In addition, it can be propagated by inserting a single leaf into the sand bed, which can grow roots in about 1 month, and can be transplanted to the basin when the roots grow to 2cm.
