The mature leaves are cut off and put on the substrate after treatment. Stem propagation is to cut the stem with good growth, insert it into the substrate, and keep the temperature suitable.

I. seed propagation

It is relatively simple to use seeds for propagation. Prepare a shallow earthenware basin first, and then put the sterilized soil into the flowerpot. A layer of tiles should be placed at the bottom of the basin to increase the air permeability. Buy some high-quality seeds, and then spread the seeds on the basin soil without covering the soil. In the end, use basin leaching method to replenish water, not direct watering, and then put it into the half shade, and spray water properly every day.

Prepare some mature leaves, try not to use tender leaves, such leaves take root slowly. Put the leaves in the matrix, make a incision on the main vein, make 4.5 small openings on a leaf, use pebbles to press around the incision, and ensure the temperature is above 15 ℃.

Stem propagation

From April to may in spring, the best way is to cut the stem with good growth. The best length is 10-15cm, with 2-3 buds on it. Prepare the substrate with better air permeability in advance, insert the stem half into the substrate, keep the temperature of rooting environment at about 20-22 ℃, and wait for the new root to grow.
