Boughs can be cut. Cutting time can be selected in spring or other time when the temperature is above 20 ℃. The annual lignified branches were inserted into the soil, moved to the shade for maintenance, and then put into the basin after rooting for about 20-25 days.

② temperature: when the indoor temperature is above 20 ℃ in winter in the north area, cutting can also be carried out, because its suitable growth temperature is 20-25 ℃, the indoor temperature in the north is dry and warm, and it is also easy for plants to survive.

Select the annual semi lignified branches, trim them to 10-15cm, insert them into the soil, the depth is about 4-6cm, and drill holes in the soil, then pour water and move them to the shade of 20-25 ℃ for curing, take root in 20-25 days, wait 40 days for potting.

After rooting, it is necessary to move it to the sunlight for full photosynthetic response, to ensure at least 8-10 hours of sufficient light every day, so as to make the plant more robust.
