If you want to cut, you'd better choose April to may, or August to September. Because the temperature of these two periods is about 20 ℃, which is very suitable for the growth of its cuttings. Try not to cut when it's too hot in summer, because the temperature is too high, it's easy to go to sleep, so that the success rate will drop

3. Cutting: put the cuttings in the disinfectant water and soak for 20 minutes, then take them out to dry. Then slowly insert it into the flower soil so that the part about 2-3cm long enters the soil.
