The place of piercing is about 2 centimeters at the lower end of the peeling place. The slightly acidic soil that has been wet with water is gradually added to the plastic drum, and if 1/5 moss is added to the soil, the effect will be better, which can maintain the constant humidity in the plastic bag, help prevent drying, and promote early healing and early rooting. When the soil is filled, tie the upper end firmly with thread or thin lead wire to form a shape the size of an egg, put it outside and let it go to the sun and rain, and carry out daily fertilization, watering and other maintenance. Usually, it is best to spray some water on the leaf surface when watering, so that the water slowly seeps into the plastic bag from the branches and leaves, increasing the humidity in the bag, but be careful not to be too wet, can be partial to some, it is too wet to heal and take root slowly.
