Select a slightly mature fleshy stem, cut 5-6 cm long, insert it in a sand bed, cover it with film after watering, and root at 15-20 ℃ at room temperature. It can be potted in 30 days. 10 centimeter pots are commonly used. If there are not many seedlings, you can use leaves to insert.

The method of planting longevity flowers

Longevity flowers bear less fruit, generally choose the insertion method of longevity flowers, longevity flowers can be divided into two methods: leaf insertion and terminal bud insertion.

The main results are as follows: 1. The leaf insertion of longevity flowers.

Insert a part of the petiole of the treated leaf into a moist substrate and place it in a semi-shady environment, waiting for the leaf to take root and sprout.

2. The top bud of the longevity flower.

The apical buds of the prepared branches as cuttings were directly inserted into the flowerpot equipped with the substrate to keep the substrate moist, the light intensity should not be too strong, and it could take root after 2-3 weeks. This method is often used in potted flower production.
