But the buds cannot be wrapped, they must be exposed, so that new buds can grow better. Then soak the paper towels before disinfecting them, and finally put them into a plastic bottle with small holes in it. Then, put it in a cool place and spray some water every 2 or 3 days. It will take about 10 to 15 days for roots to grow.

2. Sponge cuttings: prepare small pieces first sponge and drill a small hole, but do not drill it completely, and then disinfect it and set it aside.

Then insert it into a sponge, soak it with water, cover it with a film to keep it moisturized, and it will take about 15 days for new roots to grow.
