How and how long to root asparagus fern in hydroponics

Cycads can be propagated by sowing, cutting and tillering. Seeding needs to collect seeds first, soak them in warm water for a period of time, then disinfect, wash and dry them, and then prepare soil for sowing. The cutting propagation can be selected in May every year, the stem part is cut into 10-15 cm thick slices, and the new buds are germinated after being buried in sandy soil after being dried. The tillering propagation is selected in January and February of each year, the fully grown tiller buds are cut off, and then the tiller buds are planted in nutrient culture soil.
