First, let's look at its breeding.

1. Sowing method

Time selection: for this method, we'd better choose to do it when we just enter the spring

Seed selection: in order to improve the survival rate, we have to choose those that are fully mature, healthy and as full as possible

Soil quality: we should mainly consider its drainage and nutrients, so we can choose sapropel.

Specific steps: the seeds are scattered in the soil, and covered with a thin layer of soil. Next, we need to control the temperature around 16 degrees, and the humidity must be guaranteed. Wait patiently for it to grow roots and leaves. When it grows two or three leaves, it can be moved to the basin

2. Cutting

Time selection: for this method, you can operate from May to June.

Material selection: we'd better choose the top of the mother plant, just born out of the twigs, the length of about 10 to 15 cm can

Specific operation: cut off the selected materials with sterilized scissors and wait for the incision to dry. After drying, insert it into the matrix. Keep the spray daily. After about two or three weeks, it can be observed that it has long roots.
