1. Breeding methods

1. Lighting: Blue snowflakes relatively like the sun, but they are very afraid of being exposed to the sun. Therefore, you can usually receive light when the sun is not strong, but when the sun is relatively strong in summer, you should pay attention to shading.

2. Watering: Give it the amount of water It doesn’t need to be too big, as long as the soil is slightly moist. You can water it once every three days in spring and autumn, and you will need to water it more in summer because the water evaporates faster. In winter, as long as the soil is not dry, it will be fine.

3. Fertilization: During its vigorous growth period, it needs to be fertilized every 15 days to meet its growth needs. After germination, you can apply more nitrogen fertilizer, but in May, you need to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately, which will help it bloom. Note, do not fertilize it in winter.

2. Planting cuttings

Usually it is done in spring or autumn, and a cutting of about 8-10cm is taken. The branches used for cutting should not be too thin. Cut off all the leaves on the lower part of the branches, only the leaves on the top. It can be cultivated in water or in soil. If it is cultivated in soil, insert the branches into a breathable substrate. If it is cultivated in water, insert it into a clean container with water.
