The matrix should be prepared with good breathability. You can buy it ready-made or prepare it yourself.

After transplanting, keep it in a dark and ventilated place, and it will take root in about three weeks.

1. Cutting time

If you want the crab claw propagated by cuttings to take root faster, you need to choose a suitable time, and spring is the best. The temperature is neither high nor low, and the climate is also very suitable, which is conducive to rooting and survival.

2. Processing Leaves

If you want the cuttings of crab claws to take root faster, you should choose full and thick leaves. This will have stronger germination ability and faster rooting. After cutting, it cannot be inserted directly into the substrate. It must be dried for a period of time, and rooting powder must be applied to the wound. The cutting can be done after the wound is dry and tightened.

3. Prepare the substrate

The cutting substrate must be breathable. You can directly purchase special nutrient soil, or mix it yourself with river sand and humus soil. Note that what you prepare must be sterilized before use, otherwise it will be difficult for germs to take root and survive.

4. Insert the skewer into the soil

Prepare the soil and allow the cutting wounds to dry before cutting. When cutting, be careful not to insert it straight, but insert it diagonally into the soil. And also pay attention to the depth of insertion, not too deep, otherwise it will affect breathing, about three or four centimeters into the soil.

5. Post-cutting management

After cutting, place it in a ventilated and dark place. Do not bask in the sun at this time, otherwise the leaves will easily rot. Watering should also be strictly controlled. If the soil is moist, don't water it at first. You can spray water frequently at ordinary times, as long as it is slightly humid, and there must be no accumulation of water. It will take about three weeks for the roots to take root after this treatment. You can transplant when the root system is strong.
