1. Select cuttings: Use sharp scissors to cut a section of branches that are growing well, preferably 1-2 years old. There should be no damage on the branches, let alone traces of infestation by diseases and insect pests.

2. Prepare the soil: When cutting, you need to use a clean substrate, which should be exposed to the sun for disinfection before use. It also needs to meet the requirements of good air permeability and softness, which is more conducive to branch rooting.

3. Processing cuttings: Cuttings The bottom leaves need to be trimmed off, leaving only the top 3-4 leaves. The lower incision of the branch needs to be cut into a bevel to allow better contact with the substrate. The upper incision should be made 1-2cm away from the bud point.

4. Insert the skewer into the soil: After the processing is completed, carefully insert it into the soil, press it firmly with the surrounding soil, and water it thoroughly.
